Must have skills
Rank 1 Engineering, at least to level 2 (unless you're getting Tactical Shield Manipulation then lvl 4)
Rank 1 Science, at level 1. Needed before you can train up certain shield skills.
Rank 1 Shield Operation, take to level 3 gives 5% shield recharge boost per level
Rank 3 Shield Management, take to Level 4, gives 5% shield cap per level
Rank 2 Energy Grid, upgrades at level 2 needed for T1 PDS (Power Diagnostic System, sometimes called PDU) and Shield relays T1.
Rank 2 Shield upgrades, at least level 2, 5% less power needs for shield extender and recharges.
Rank 4 Tactical Shield Manipulation, Level 1 for T1 Invulnerability Fields
Notes: Its recommend to take Shield Operation & Shield Management to level 4 as soon as possible and make level 5 a priority after you get your other must have skills.
Skills for an Elite pilot.
Rank 1 Engineering, at least to level 4 (level 5 can be useful if you need more powergrid)
Rank 1 Science at level 1. Needed before you can train up certain shield skills.
Rank 1 Shield Operation, take to level 5, gives 5% shield recharge boost per level
Rank 3 Shield Management, take to Level 5, gives 5% shield cap per level
Rank 2 Energy Grid, upgrades at level 4 needed for T2 PDS and T2 Shield relays, level 5 if you have CPU problems.
Rank 2 Shield upgrades, at lest level 4, For T2 extenders level 5 if you need more power grid.
Rank 4 Tactical Shield Manipulation, Level 4 for T2 Invulnerability Fields

They may or may not be useful, depending on whether you use hardeners or resistance amplifiers. Check my thread for more info.

Though there is a bonus too offline hardeners in the shield compensation skills, once the hardeners are active (which is the whole point) the resistance bonuses cease to exist. You only need to train the compensation skills if you use the passive shield resistance amplifiers.
In that case train EM compensation first up to level IV or V and Thermal second op to the same level. The other two you won't not need to train as high or even at all since those are the natural shield resists (still if you do occasionally use those modules it never hurts to skill for them)

and shield rigging which lowers your signature radius if using shield rigs.
