It all depends on how you want to chanel your career progression. If you want to follow the academic path then go for your master but if you want to toil the engineering field then go and get certifications and the sky will be your starting point. Shalom!

i second this.

If u would love to practice engineering then professional certification is the key.

Professional certification far far better.i was lucky to come to Qatar with free visa through my friend.what helped me was my discipline in school mechanical engineering. I met an Igbo pastor who works with Qatar petroleum he took interest in me. We were talking one day , he asked me what did I study I told him mechanical engineering. He asked me what can I do , said I had experience in power generation.he laughed and said to me electricity is stable here you can not get nothing.He said to me have you had about project management I said yes . He said to me he is mechanical engineer and a project planing and control engineer in QP. He said I will teach you project management and how to use premavera oracle project software.he did and now proud mechanical engineer in project management. Am now working with a well known company in Qatar as planning engineer.with salary of 1m naira a month if converted with free transport and free flight to and frow annual vacation.

Really want build a career in project management, but don't actually know how to go about it. Where can I find a good institution that offer certificate courses for it.

By the way, I'm a civil engineering graduate awaiting NYSC call up.

Bro make I no lie you....
Just go for the professional certs.. It would pay in the long run..
Moreover, masters don turn B.Eng nowadays, e no dey guarantee jobs...

Someone came to NL yesterday to wail over not getting a job after spending N6.7m on a masters program in the UK..

Be wise bro, don't be like that young man!
that he couldn't land a job with his oversea cert doesn't mean I can't land a job with mine. His grace and my grace are on a whole different level.

Masters in Engineering will forever be relevant.
Professional certification might not be relevant in the next few years. A superior certification will surely over-take it.
Note PMP, PRINCE2, NEBOSH are not engineering certification. PMP is project management, NEBOSH is Health and safety certification.

I ask yourself this question. How many engineering job advert do u see that require all these certifications. But almost all the engineering advert will mention Masters in Engineering

Based on the present situation in Nigeria, which of these will pay more - Masters in Engineering or Professional Certification (PMP, PRINCE2, NEBOSH etc.

As an experienced Engineer which of the aforementioned will you advice me to go for.

No doubts professional certifications (e.g NEBOSH, CCIE, MCSE, etc) are more regarded in today's job market and pays better than masters degree.
The thing is.... If you have the time now(not yet working), I advice u go for ur masters degree first cos u won't have that much time wen u land a gud job. Professional courses can be taken any time and it's less time consuming compared to the masters.

You are very very correct. Professional certification remain the best. I read linguistics and i did Nebosh, which i am using to work as a Safety Engr.. My University certificate is not relevant to my field of work...So, professional certification is far better than masters.

My dear prospective corp member, optimize any opportunity to get your project management professional (PMP) training during your service year. It's mostly subsidized for NYSC. Do the training and write the exams immediately.

Bros job will start looking for you.
