Nice thread

VoltageDivida:


I would love to do that but finance is a major constraint. Each costs over a 150k.

Go for solar training, no private individual/Company can train U BTS/BSS Engineering they are lying , you need live equipments, and beside those equipments are very expensive.. Thank God u are still on field talk to the active Engineer in your cluster he can be of help. If he decline to help, I'm an active Engineer as well, contact me. You can only learn telecom through OJT (On Job Training)

These two can be capital intensive, FM on the long run might get you a spot in as a Network Optimization Engineer, can you ever run random optimization without an operator ?
I would assume you(plan) working with IPT PowerTech or IHS

Else you want to publish paper


You can consider Cloud Engineering Certifications or Some other Software Engineering disciplines, here you can easily up scale, earn better and easily get roles.
In short you don't even need a cert to get into Telecom in Nigeria

But in all, I will recommend you ask your Creator to direct your path.

What is "solar engineering"?

VoltageDivida:
Good day great Nairalanders,
Please I need your advice on this.

After years of searching for a job as an Electrical and Electronics Engineering graduate, I finally got an internship role in a telecoms company that is basically into power in telecoms.

Now, my internship is about coming to an end, and I'm not too sure of retainment (even if I'm retained, power isn't really my passion). So I'm looking for a training/certification that I can do that will enable me get a better job as soon as I'm done with the internship.

After some research and deep self examination, two programs in different sectors standout to me. They are;
I. Solar PV Engineering, and
II. BTS/BSS FM engineering (telecoms)

I want to do the the solar training cos renewable energy has always been my passion from school days and I see it as an emerging industry that is going to hit big in the near future, hence I want to be part of it.

I choose the telecoms cos each time I see those equipments on site, they always arouse my curiosity. I want to know more about what they do and how to install and configure them. Also the telecommunications industry is huge, so I feel there are more jobs here.

Please I need your advice on this.
Which of these two do you think I should go for and why?
Which do you think can help me get a job easily?
And which sector do you think pays better?

I will truly appreciate your advice as you help a poor brother beat unemployment and poverty.

osazsky:
me i nor understand o..me that did art know say u connect ur serial conection or parallel conection if one or more than one panels to ur charge controller..then to inverter then to batteries..so wat is d enginrering here..then do load separation..something u can learn in 2 days u don turn am to enginrering

Very soon we go get GOTV engineering

Nor go read book make u go find work for glo

People way nor even go sch na him dey do solar

osazsky:
so u wil pay 150k for something u can learn in 2 days

Watch videos on youtube and teach yourself.if i say make u come learn better wood engineering way u nor fit suffer for life again u go dey price 50 k for 3 years a

He doesn't need a Cert? Kindly educate me on this sir/ma.

McTobe:
I believe by now you must have gotten some useful pieces of advice. If you finally decide for Telecom DM me I will send some materials I used for my training with Laplace Technology back then on Radio Network Planning and Optimization.(RNPO) free to you alone NB: I paid 120K for that training with the materials.

My Story: I don’t really have strength to type this night. I spent a little time on Telecom path before FG work came my way I will not say it’s not a rewarding path. My friends are still there even with Huawei doing well. But my own challenge then was that I was not getting work as a freelancer since Laplace didn’t retain me(they had some bad court cases going on then, it would have been a pleasure to work there. They have great guys like Morris, Etim et al). If it were now that my network is wider I am sure it wouldn’t have been a challenge. I am even looking up to getting back to Telecom field, I have started talking to my guys for passes. Summary is follow your heart but if you choose Telecom please consider RNPO over BSS(installation). RNPO will always get you jobs but it’s not always that you get installation job, I may be wrong though...All the best

VoltageDivida:





Bro you replies dey crack up aswear. Tho you get point sha, about the series/parallel-charge controller-inverter/battery setup. But then you need to know that solar/renewable energy is far beyond that. People for no go dey do MSc for am if say e end there.
And e sure me say you see where I put COREN certification for that reply. You sabi wetin that one mean?

kennynelcon:


Worked in such capacity without a certificate, a lot never used certs for these roles.
You need experience then you can cop one or more certs from Huawei along the way.

If he decides to be a rigger (which I doubt), then he will need a safety cert some other trainings as well.
Huawei is good with such

VoltageDivida:


Thank you so much sir. I really appreciate your offer.
Will look into RNPO to get more facts about it.
Pls I would like to know if Laplace is still in the training business, heard about them sometime ago
Hope the FG job is worth the switch sir

sow4me:


About the field experience you talked about, how can he go about it please?

I'd like having an idea as i am on to making a career decision myself.
Thanks boss.

dayo23:
Am a Maintenance Engineer with a DISCO, I equally have a solar company doing installation for Gov Institution, offices, private Org, Residentials etc. I would seriously advice you go into Solar installation and complete electrical wiring. If you need onsite experience kindly Buzz me.

Go for solar training, no private individual/Company can train U BTS/BSS Engineering they are lying , you need live equipments, and beside those equipments are very expensive.. Thank God u are still on field talk to the active Engineer in your cluster he can be of help. If he decline to help, I'm an active Engineer as well, contact me. You can only learn telecom through OJT (On Job Training)
