# Approving skills claimed by learners

> Review the existing skills learners declare from their CV, and approve or decline each one

When a learner starts with Opigno Enterprise, they already hold many skills. Rather than making them prove everything again, learners can declare the skills they already have. Accessory skills are accepted directly; the other skills are reviewed by a manager or an administrator. Accepted skills are set to **Claimed** (100%) and no longer appear in the learner's skills gap.

## How learners declare their skills

Learners declare their skills from the **My Skills** interface on the learner portal, in two ways.

**By uploading their CV**

1. The learner uploads their **CV** (PDF, 20 MB max).
2. An AI agent analyzes the CV (diplomas and experience) and suggests matching skills from your skill framework, at any level (top-level skills or sub-skills). Each suggestion comes with a one-sentence explanation.
3. The learner reviews the list: they can **remove** suggested skills and **add** other skills using the autocomplete field. For each skill they add, they must enter a short explanation.
4. The learner submits the list. **Accessory** skills are claimed directly. Skills with another criticality are sent to a manager for approval.

A learner can upload another CV later, for example after updating it.

**By claiming a skill in the list**

For **Accessory** skills only, the learner can click **Claim skill** directly in the list of their skills. The skill is claimed immediately, with no approval. See [What learners can do, by criticality](https://docs.opigno.com/skills/overview.md#what-learners-can-do-by-criticality).

## Who reviews the requests

* **Managers** see the requests of learners at their own hierarchy level or below.
* **Administrators** see all requests.

See [Hierarchy inheritance](https://docs.opigno.com/hierarchy-management/hierarchy-inheritance.md) for how scopes are defined.

## Reviewing a request

1. In the back office, in the **Skills** section, open the list of **pending requests**.
2. Open a request to see the learner's CV and the list of requested skills, each with its explanation (from the AI agent or from the learner).
3. For each skill, click **Approve** or **Decline**. A request can be partially approved.

> [!WARNING]
>
> A decision is applied as soon as you click **Approve** or **Decline**, and cannot be reverted.

Skills the learner has already acquired or claimed are displayed read-only, with no action buttons.

## What happens after approval

Each approved skill is assigned to the learner with:

* status **Claimed**,
* source **CV approval**,
* progress **100%**.

Because a person has reviewed the claim, approved skills are accepted even though they are **Essential** or **Important** for the learner.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **NOTE:** If the learner later receives a skills profile where a claimed skill has a higher criticality than before, that skill and its sub-skills are reset. See [When a learner's profile changes](https://docs.opigno.com/skills/skills-profiles.md#when-a-learners-profile-changes).
