**SF-182**

Quick Reference Guide for the SF-182 External Training Authorization
Form

Why use the SF-182 External Training Authorization Form? Federal
training laws and regulations require agencies to maintain and manage
training records across the Department. OPM adopted a new policy May
2006 to comply with legal and regulatory provisions. Federal agencies
are mandated to electronically capture and transfer official training
records with cost information to OPM's Enterprise Human Resource
Integration (EHRI) database on a monthly basis for federal employees.

**Recommendation:** The very first time you open the

SF-182 External Training Request Form, print and store a copy that has
your personal information pre-loaded to use for future training requests
you may have. For each future request, fill out one of the hardcopies
first, with the specific information for that training, then log into
DOI LEARN, open a new SF-182 form and complete the electronic form from
the completed hardcopy. This way, you are always ready with the field
information when it's time to complete the electronic form. This will
save you time.

**Note:** Many fields are already populated for you from your user
profile. If the information is not correct, you need to update your DOI
LEARN user profile first, then print out copies of the SF-182 if needed.

***If you have any doubts about what information goes into a specific
field, contact your DOI LEARN Data Steward for assistance---See list to
the right of this brochure.***

This form has many required fields and will not save until they are all
populated. Each time you click Save without a mandatory field populated,
the system will place your cursor on the field that needs populating.

Click Save at the bottom of the form which is the same as Submitting the
form.
