While I sympathise with your state, I really think you would have sought good counsel before venturing into oil and gas courses. Oil and gas sector is so big and is constantly in need of people with the right qualifications for immediate employment.

Believe it or not, NEBOSH, IOSH, IEMA, CQI and CIEH courses are the most sort after qualifications in the oil and gas sector. I say this authoritatively because I consult.

Try as much as you can to get something internationally recognised not something that bottles you. *Nigeria safety qualifications* I have gone through that road before. There are NEBOSH courses that are cheaper for a start with it you can secure a job and build up the career ladder.
Safe!

Hello all,

Interesting thread. My sibling is a zoology graduate working presently as a customer service rep. She had earlier taken a few HSE courses at NISP Lagos. I am ready to pay for her to get a NEBOSH IGC or PI certification but i need to know what the prospects will be since she is based in lagos. And if there are weekend training centres in Lagos where she can go. Thanks.

I do not advise an IGC for someone with a background in zoology or banking. HSE PI will by far be the best. Firstly, it is more affordable and the success rate is 96%. IGC on the other hand will be more tasking and she could end up paying massively to do a resit.

HSEPI is 150,000 while IGC is 260,000. Training is coming up in PH from 5th(friday)-7th(Sunday) of April (3days only). Check here www.novellecenter.co m

Am a graduate of chemical engineering,among the grduates with a painful 2.2, 3.49 CGPA, currently working in a bank,but seriously seeking a way out of the bank to practice engineering in an oil and gas firm. Pple have adviced me to do MSc, while some said I should do some prefessional courses. I am presently doing mud engineering, I have a practical knowledge of Hysys and pdms. After mud engineering, am considering going for Nebosh certification In HsE. All this certification cost money, yet the oil and gas jobs are not comming forth. My question are:
1. should I let go of these certification programmes and face master, since most of this oil and gas firms insist on 2.1s.
2. Do theses multinationals discriminate nigerian msc as compared to foreign msc.
Please your advice is urgent.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO CAN ASSIST ME IN GETTING GOOD MATERIALS(COMPREHENSIVE) ON ''ACCIDENT PREVENTION IN A STEEL MILL''

Bearshare: The NEBOSH HSE for Process Industries Certification course covers a broad range of topics in Process safety, as well as safety and environmental issues specifically associated with process industries.

This qualification is aimed at everyone who needs to understand the principles of health and safety as well as courting a career within the process industries, oil & gas, Maritime, construction and Mining sectors globally.

On the NEBOSH website, this qualification was listed as an Award & not a certificate. Infact b4 I could locate it on their site took a while. I was all along wondering where it came from b4 discovering tht NEBOSH qualifications are listed as Diploma, Certificates & Award. And the HSE PI was listed under awards. From the foregoing, I'm of the 'opinion' tht it may not carry the weight tht others listed as Certificates carry (I may be wrong sha). Anyways this just serves as caveat.

Moreover, no knowledge is wasted.

Btw

PLS I'm interested in an ISO 14000 training in Lagos. Pls I would appreciate any information on where I can do this training.

@ Milito,

Many thanks for the concern you raised, I am of the opinion however that you need to understand the difference between ''Certificate'' and ''certification''.

A certification is also termed a qualification. Certification means a designation earned by a person to assure qualification to perform a job or task. www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_certification.

NEBOSH HSE for process industries certification is like also saying NEBOSH HSE for process industries qualification. Please also note , i didnt say NEBOSH HSE for process industries certificate. A certificate is only a level which is inside a certification in NEBOSH. I hope you'll get this. Having said this, I'll kindly request you also know that:

NEBOSH has 3 categories of qualifications. The Award level which is equivalent to UK level 2., Certificate level which is equivalent to UK level 3 and Diploma level which is equivalent of Uk level 6(Bsc).

HSEPI is most suitable for people new in safety as it gives them the fundamental knowledge in safety and offers them international recognition rather than paying hugely for a local certificate which may not have much relevance outside the shores of Nigeria.

Another point is that proceeding to do the certificate level may be expensive and comes with 50-50 chances of pass-failure. The logic is why should I spend over 300k running an IGC or IOGC which comes with uncertainty when I could start out with NEBOSH HSW or NEBOSH HSEPI and get a success & experience and thereafter proceed to doing NEBOSH IGC/NEBOSH IOGC/NEBOSH CEM/NEBOSH IFC/NEBOSH ICC with much experienced gained from the previous.

Again, another fact you should note is that having a higher level in NEBOSH is not guaranteed of a quick job, why not start out with your Award level---> Certificate level----> proceed to Diploma level.

Goodluck

Kudos to those that started nd keeps this page rolling, uve really done a great job to enlighten nd educate people. God Bless
HSE practitioners and professionals should please endeavour to post more job opportunities and testimonies as regards HSE, this will do more of morale to HSE field aspirants.
Tnx

Please What is the meaning of IGC and IP and which will u recomend a graduate of Geography?

I am a graduate of sociology but working in the drilling industry. I would like to take NEBOSH IGC in september. Please where can I register and take the exam in Nigeria, Lagos specifically.

HSE is a good career route but you have to be patient..no job guarantee however.i did mine at occupational safety academy after attending nisp and i discovered that even though NISP has a reputable certificate,i really got to grasp indepth knowledge at occupational safety academy under a highly experienced professional HSE tutor..if you would like to study there.visit www.oilfieldjobsandcareers..com

I work in the drilling industry. Which is better for me NEBOSH IGC or NEBOSH int cert in oil and gas safety operations?

Hi all, fantastic thread! Big big hand to moderators. There is a lot of awareness now about HSE related issues and more and more people want SHE qualifications be it NISP NEBOSH, or what have you. I happen to know where you can get all the materials you would need to pass your NEBOSH exams as well as register for the exam and sit, with all other necessary support for less than N200,000. Also if you want to pay in installments its also possible. For more info call me BJ on 08134012596.

Sorry I should have been more specific it is IGC and IOGC( oil and gas). However for the oil and gas I would recommend only those with technical or science background attempt self study. Package includes videos e books keypoints past questions, a walkthrough for IGC 3 which as u know is a practical assessment. Generally well rounded course. Study at ur pace if u r working don't bother to take leave from work. Write the exam when u r good and ready. Just pay in 2 installments, 1 for materials and support and 2 for the exams. Exam holds 4 times a year. 08134012596 is the number to call.

@ E.dynasty and Bearshare..

I'm a 32yr old graduate of engineering wif a 2.2..no experience at all.. I have interest in working in the oil and gas sector but I'm torn between these three: NEBOSH IGC, NEBOSH International certificate in Oil $ Gas, and HSE PI.. in regards to which would give me more advantage in job opportunity and stating WHY I should choose that. I really want to thank everyone who has contributed immensely and lookin forward to get professional advices from y'all including E.dynasty and Bearshare

Big thanks

afroxyz: I work in the drilling industry. Which is better for me NEBOSH IGC or NEBOSH int cert in oil and gas safety operations?

Hi afroxyz, yes I believe ur background is in Sociology? Both courses r good for your profession in drilling. However oil and gas is a highly technical course. Success rate for this course is not as high as the IGC, definitely should not b attempted by someone who has neither a technical background nor prior SHE knowledge. I'd advise you go for IGC first and then IOGC afterward. I hope this helps. Cheers

I think your major concern is getting that HSE job. Most job posts do not specify which Nebosh qualification they are looking for, but usually the ideal candidate would be someone who has Nebosh qualification and once employed can hit the ground running. U need HSE experience performing some role, that is related to the role u r to fill out. Getting into oil and gas immediately though everyones desire might not be as easy as qualifying for IGC or IOGC. U might need to go for some sort of job that would get u requisite experience at SHE even if it is just volunteer. Construction and maritime or SHE consultants even govt parastatals might b a gud place to start. That's not to say the Nebosh qualification u go for isn't important. I think of the 3 IGC is the most rounded. Its not limited and its a well respected qualification. For a start Ill say you go for the IGC. I know you have science background so you could possibly make the IOGC but like I said it might restrict you and for someone who is job seeking you need to have an open mind, as long as you don't get knocked off your career path. Pay ur dues bro, that's all I can say. Cheers.
