Pls from which industry did u get ur nace corrosion Nd coating certification. and like how much. I read met mats and I was taught about that. wanna specialise more on it.

Go for ISO 9001:2015 Lead Auditor's course. It will give you an edge.

Tayo2k7:
I am a chemical engineer and i am sure you know chemical engineering is basically about processes so i will advice you to get project management certificate (not roadside training oo but a real PMP/CIMP certificate) then have a very good knowledge of Excel functions and formulars.

with this you have high chances of not only working in the O&G but also manufacturing industry.

**you can meet me backdoor for more info and some companies you can apply to.

Bro, I'd like to talk about PMP too, how can I contact you.

Everyone is talking about this ISO cert, is it that good?

prinzeepule:
I am a chemical engineering grad and a serving corp member that have plans to enrol and get some certifications during the service year. Please i need advice on viable ones as there might be constrains and I will have to choose.

There is no certificate man. Equip your self with different API. Learn alot during this periods
Like control valve sizing, psv, line sizing, vessel sizing, pump hydraulics, then some process application.

Thanks

it has a wider application because virtually all companies has a quality system and needs to be ISO certified including banks. If you can do it it gives you an edge but doesn't really gets you a job as a starter.

go and learn how to design plants. using softwares and the likes. process safety wont also be a bad idea. Then see how you can get the hell out of ds country dey call nigeria to consolidate on ur skills. coming back wud be entirely up to you.

Young man, there are a lot of things you can do. Please don't limit yourself because of your present location, class of degree or Nigeria problem. Free yourself think and think critically ( which is very difficult). Chemical engineering is dynamic and wide, find an area of interest and I will advice you.

All the best

Go for HSE, is cheaper for you, visit Nigeria institute of safety professional website site for more information, ISPON , I did some courses 2014, It was an eye opener for me. cheers

Go to NACE website for more info. the exams is written in India, Dubai or the US. It's expensive sha.

What Certifications Should I Enrol For As A Fresh industrial chemist.

Bro, I need to know more about this ISO cert, please can we talk about it?

International Safety Organization ISO.
The British Safety Certifications

I'm currently looking at the cost of running the course online with foreign providers but the cost is not funny, what is the cost like in Nigeria? What is the acceptance of the certification from Nigerian training providers and like how much experience do I need before having the certification would come handy?

akokaite:



International Safety Organization ISO.
The British Safety Certifications

How relevant is it? What kind of ambiance those it give?

GreenMavro:
Oga, you don't need any certification, what you need now is for you to study your GMAT cover to cover, create a professional resume, prepare yourself for interviews and continue applying for graduate trainee jobs.

no allow those fake nysc certificate courses chop your money o!

EOD. Not forgetting SHL, Saville or GRE if he plans to run away. It reminds me of this thread:

https://www.nairaland.com/2766326/top-10-most-employable-qualities

Please read what I have to write very carefully.

Do you need certfications? Maybe. They look good on your CV but that is usually as far as it goes. Employers know people run around getting these certifications with no competency whatsoever in the discipline and pay very little attention to them. And you can't just go around amassing certifications, like getting both an HSE and a NACE certificate (implying you want be both an HSE engineer and a corrosion engineer). It shows the employer you don't know what you want and are just "seeking employment"
You may join professional organisations like NSChe, NSE, SPE etc. Those may come in handy and some jobs (not many though) require you to be a member of at least one of these before they consider you for employment.

Now, to what you should be directing great energy to as a fresh graduate. Please become a Master of the latest versions of the following:
1. Microsoft Word: A lot of reports are written in this format and you shall be writing a lot of those regularly.
2. Microsoft Excel: Forget about the elementary calculations you executed in Excel while you were at school; you have to go a thousand steps further and improve your mastery of this tool. Take it apart and put it together again, until you understand its innermost workings.
3. Microsoft Powerpoint: This is the the go-to software for presentations. It is arguably the easiest to Master of all the Microsoft Office tools.
4. Microsoft Project: Project schedules and progress tracking are developed with this tool. Regardless of what industry you find yourself at the end of the day you will have use for this.
5. Microsoft Outlook: Aha! Emails!! The ubiquitous tool for communication in the office and field environments. Learn all the intricate details of this tool for you shall be making use of this on a daily basis, every single day.

For the Technical requirements,
For a Chemical Engineer, your expertise on P&IDs should be top-notch. How good are your P&ID skills? Not too good, I am sure. Not to worry. Download a book, go online, speak to people with experience; do anything and everything to improve this skill.
Other softwares you may want to learn are HYSYS and PIPEPHASE.

And please learn how to listen and respond to what you were listening to. This is a serious issue during job interviews. People tend to provide responses to some voices in their heads and flunk the interviews altogether.

I am assuming your spoken English is it should be for a Chemical Engineering graduate, so I won't dwell on that.

Follow these few pointers and you shall increase your employability by a factor of 10.
Good thing is these skills are still useful even if you choose to run your own company.

you need ZERO experience and it will cost you between 120 - 150k in Nigeria. Google
