what qualifications do i need to work as techlog sut sir?

TheAviator:


You got it wrong. Nobody listed it as one of the profession one does not need to go to school for. Please, go and read it again and try to comprehend it.

mosquitoway:


You can apply to canada for permanent residence under the express entry system: NOC 2271: Air pilots, flight engineers and flying instructors.It takes some effort and you will need to show proof of funds.

emmaodet:


Well, i think your best bet is to do some marine/offshore related courses like HSE courses after which you can apply for HSE/Surveyors jobs but without experience in those sectors, it will be hard to get a job.

CoronaVirusPro:
Rather go to Edo state aviation school

opeey:

same with aerocadet, but would like to know the training school you are talking about

emmaodet:


Thanks bro and you too.
Which company do you work for?

Not different from what sailors earn and the courses are a bit cheaper than pilots.
I am a second officer and depending on company, certificate and experience you will get between 250k to 2.2m at my level sailing offshore or holding a north to south africa sailing ticket/license

Naijagram:


Wow! Nice one sir! Do you know if South Africa offers ETO COC?

emmaodet:


I know.
I am working with Bourbon - 1m in, 250k out.
6 weeks in/6 weeks out. I work on PSV and AHTS.
I have friends working on Durga Devi earning 55k/day as second mate and 90k/day as chief officer.
I can't come down to working on a security boat bro, up i go, never down.
I was called for a job with Mariteam last year January, 2.1m but unfortunately i was at work and lost the job.
I have a friend who works on Mo Tuncan - 2.1m per month as second.
But on average, the salary of a DP officer second mate roves around 1m
Also, indigenous companies like Awarise, Lahama, Temile etc pays second 1.2-1.4m while chief 1.5-1.8m per month
I'm in the industry and giving you facts even backing it up with company names and vessels.
I have friends working on NLNG tankers, don't let us even talk go there. Those guys are walking in money. International trade and license

emmaodet:


Are you an electrician?
I know of ghana

Naijagram:


Please do you know how much ETOs earn?

Bro you should also let the youngsters know about the serious unemployment in the maritime industry. Getting a cadetship position to advance your career is extremely difficult now because of the excess supply. Most people even work for free if they get the chance to or they pay to get those positions.

It's post like yours and some other guys that made my parents force me to go and study marine engineering. I have a degree in marine engineering and out of 75 of us that graduated only around 14 have jobs presently. It's not really something I would advise anyone to study. Technically, anyone can work on a ship. My first job out of school was with an NGO and that was cause of my tenacity and our chief engineer then from Spain never ever worked on a ship in his life. He learnt everything about working on ships with the NGO. One of our sister ships, it's second engineer was a French lawyer.

I won't advise anyone to get into this field presently and with oil dwindling down its just going to get much worse.

emmaodet:


I know bro and i get you.
It's hard out there but if by chance you scale through and get a job, i think it is worth it.
There is unemployment in virtually every sector even including the low paying jobs like teaching not to talk of a good job like sailing or pilot.
Anywhere there is money, there is always fierce competition or do you think you are the only one who likes money? Or who likes to live a good life?
From being a medical doctor to pilot to sailor to oil and gas/offshore down to teaching, there is unemployment bro and that was why if you checked my earlier post on this thread about the industry, i advised a guy to rather study Artificial Intelligence, Robotic science or Remote control/operation instead of marine because the world is changing due to technology/5G and also increase in alternative and eco friendly energies like solar, nuclear etc.
Sorry for what you are passing through, i will advice you go through ratings route because it is easier getting a job as oiler or ordinary seaman/Able seaman than cadet.

tensazangetsu20:

Absolutely not I hate the industry terribly. Plus the industry has no future especially with the advancement of AI and dwindling oil prices. AI technology would be applied to ships and could reduce manpower onboard by over 60 percent.

Doctors have it so much better abeg. It's only in Nigeria that doctors are very poorly paid and not respected even poor Liberia pays their doctors hazard allowance of 800 dollars a month. It's also much easier to migrate out of Nigeria as a doctor PLAB or USMLE than it is with any other course. I doubt a marine engineer from Nigeria can even work in US waters because of the prevalent Jones act. Medicine is still the best science course anyone can study and once the pandemic is contained, the demand for doctors will be through the roof.

emmaodet:


Check my first reply to you, i modified the post.
Believe me, even medical doctors won't be spared with AI, most will go out of jobs.
The best option now is to diversify into different investment portfolios like digital agriculture, physical business, real estate etc.
Because even as an entrepreneur, having one business will be suicide.
A very funny world is coming bro

emmaodet:


Have sent you a Pm but you haven't replied.
Still waiting for you.

tensazangetsu20:

Entrepreneurship in Nigeria is very hard men. Well everyone must learn to program a computer eventually. In the next 20 years, it will be super hard to get even a basic job without some programming skills. Because the AI systems would be programmed, maintained and codebases updated.

emmaodet:


Hmmmmmmmm
Na wa ooooo
Seems life is about getting harder.
Are you working onboard presently? Which company?

tensazangetsu20:

I left. I had a business I was running but men it was getting so difficult and then this pandemic. Shutting it down later this year. I was freelancing as a marketer but presently learning front end web development.

emmaodet:


Na wa oooooo.
Sometimes, i just think life is a bitch.
Sometimes, i feel like doing illegal things to make sweet and quick money because going to school, looking for job, doing the job, staying on the job is quite hard mehhnnnnnn
At the end of the day, you have little or none to show for it. Even business is not spared out, quite hard to run business too.
I envy drug dealers, bunker guys etc alot bro, a lot.

RRWraith:

Tell us your experience, I am sure other aspiring pilots will love to hear from you



From my extensive research Florida is one of the best places to attend a flight school buh its cost of living, accomodation and is expensive..
And for the flight hours, I think you need 1500 flight hours to make it to the cockpit of the average airlines as co-pilot.
Its standard FAA requirement, i think it was formally 1000hours.

Another thing i got from my personal research a while ago was that not all student pilots make it to the cockpit...its expensive being a pilot and airlines are not willing to pay for training as much and only a few very expensive schools will give you 1500 flight hours and i didnt even find one of such schools in the US...you have to hustle for it and from private plane or light craft charters and per hours charters may range from about $300 to $700 or even more(cant remember vividly, been a while) that leaves a student to hustle really hard enough to fend for himself and also to afford to accumulate flight hours enough to even be considered by any cheap airline. It hard out there unless you have rich parents or sponsors or a good scholarship.

My 2 cents


MODIFIED: I just remember i did stumble on one flight school that guarantees training and the required 1500 flight hours on the Airbus A320 and A321neo to get you on any commercial airline. buh its not even in the US and its very expensive...I still have a mail from that flight school.
Application alone is about 800k
full training is approximately 70M

RRWraith:

I have checked aerocadet and I am impressed especially about the cost...are you really sure about that cost?
Its still above my reach tho

The school I am talking about is alphaflightacademy UAE

fashrola:


1. at least 3-4 years experience as a marine engineer onboard
2. III/3 License
3. Proficient in Planned Maintenance System software
