The required information fields are identified by an asterisk ("*"). At this time, both the Major and School field should remain blank. For more information, see Eureka! document 15319 — Cannot enter major or school information in Competency Management.

Your manager does not have to approve your education details, but when you save the information, your manager will receive an email notifying him or her that you have made a change. To enter your education information, follow the steps below.

Log into Competency Management.

For more detailed steps on logging in, see Eureka! document 15202 — How to log into Competency Management.

From the Tasks list, click on Education.
To enter your first degree, click on Add a degree. The Education Detail screen appears.

If you already have a degree entered and would like to add another, click on the Add a Degree button.

Next to the *Degree: field, click on the magnifying glass to see the list of degrees available.
The Lookup Degree screen appears.
Without changing anything on the screen, click on the Lookup button to see a list of degrees to choose from.
Click once on the type of degree you wish to enter. Once you click on the degree code, you will see a flashing "Processing" in the upper right hand corner. You will be returned to the Education Detail screen.

If your degree does not appear, consult with your manager so that the manager can determine if the degree is one that should be included in the database . If the manager thinks that the degree needs to be included, the manager can submit a request through PGS Operations to have it reviewed for approval. In the meantime, do not save any information for that degree. For more information about the request, see Eureka! document 15211 — Request for addition to Competency Management database.

At this time, there is no Major information in the database and you will not be able to enter it manually. Please skip this field.

Choose the Country in which you received the degree. The default value is USA.

If you received a degree from another country, click on the magnifying glass to choose the country from a list. Then click on the Lookup button to view a list of countries.
Click on the country code for the country from which you got your degree.
Note: Because the countries are listed in country code order, look carefully if you don't find your country immediately. For example, Switzerland's country code is "CHE," so it is listed under the "C"'s on the country code list.

At this time, there is no School information in the database and you will not be able to enter it manually. Please skip this field.
