Hi People, does anyone have a first-hand experience of the processes involved in becoming a member of the NISP? Also how relevant is it in the oill & gas and manufacturing sectors? Responses will be appreciated.

yah is very much relevant it depends on your fields of study, qualification, interest and determination in the so much lucrative safety business.if you are a graduate of engineering and science related field you will write their level 2 &3 before sitting for their membership exams.but if not you write Gen hse and level 3.for more info visit www.nispnigeria.com

@kunle4u, really appreciate your response. I am a microbiologist and presently work with a manufaturing company and was wondering how applicable it will be in that sector.

@kunle4u you tried but maybe you may need to elaborate more. Like what do i stand to gain by doing the course. Places i could work, the potentials for me for both Social science students and Engineering students alike. Please that would help. Thanks

Pls guys, I also need info on this. A graduate of Pol Sci. I Work with an insurance broker, but wish to work directly in the upstream oil/gas. Where do I start and what are the courses I must take on safety? what are the prospects for me?
Aside the oil/gas sector, are there lucrative opportunities in other sectors and what are these sectors?

Responses will be appreciated.

Thanks.

@ Christ4me seriously Don't tell me you are considering a career in the upstream oil/gas sector with a degree in pol. science. In what capacity do you really intend to function..huh? Political engineering or what..? Come on with your discipline the likely areas you can even look forth to in the upstream sector should be HR, Administration, Contracts and tender and the likes. The business of the upstream is mostly handled by the Engineers and Science-based professionals. And what exactly would you be needing a safety certificate for? Do you intend working offshore in the field with your qualification? As what..? Driller..?Tool pusher..? Or as Drilling Engineer? Then you should go back to school to get the relevant degree for that and you shouldn't have taken your current degree. Look with your current paper, a role within commercial and not technical would be the only and proper best fit for you within the upstream oil/gas sector. Or at best you take your chances at the much less technical downstream sector, no i don't think that's what you want to hear. You are simply motivated by the mullar...hmm who doesn't want Oil money? But i will honestly put it straight to you, your ambitions are highly skewed and widely polarized, because it's the perfect example of a round peg in a square hole. "Oil Money" is really Tempting......

Saint Chukz, I appreciate your time and energy. At least you showed you could read and write. Do you know this man: Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede. Sure you don't but would say you do. Just Google. What did he study - 1st degree and what is he now. Enlighten yourself before you pass judgement. It pays. Thanks all the same. I appreciate you.

I like this thread, concerning the high relevancy this topic to career development. I want to ask you fello nairalanders, can somebody with bsc in human physiology and HSE certificates have relevance in the upstream sector?

Plz I need you guys to en-lighting me more on HSC. I studied Surveying and geoinformatics Engineering... which of the courses do you think I put in for. im a fresh graduate

It's not HSC, it's HSE (Health, Safety and Environment)

You don't really need HSE, you should enhance your B.Sc with certificate course(s) in the GIS field.
