7. As a guy avoid Nigerian girls.

this statement is too underrated. Do this and have absolute peace

hakeem4:
First hnd people are trained for industry not academia, so they can’t become lecturers. Except they get their advance study

2) hnd are qualified for Coren. It’s just that they’d be registered as technologists (which is what they’re trained for)

3) maybe those countries don’t require their skills set
4)because they’re are trained to be on field so I don’t see the reason why they’re to be placed in managerial positions

Wisdom….

sultan003:
I know about the washington accord..

Take engineering council of South Africa, with HND you are registered as an engineering technician... if you like go and do masters and PhD you will remain a technician.

With B.tech you are registered as an engineering technologist while with B.engr you are registered as an engineer.

They all have their roles clearly defined and everyone is proud of their achievements, the opposite is the case in Nigeria

Proud of you…. Wise man

(b)        HND in an Engineering field + COREN accredited PGD in the same field of Engineering e.g. HND Civil Engineering + PGD Civil Engineering with 2 years post PGD experience. (All PGD Certificates obtained after December 2021 will require a Master’s Degree in the same Engineering field).

(c)        HND in an Engineering field + COREN accredited B. Eng/B.Sc or B. Tech in the same field of Engineering e.g. HND Civil Engineering + B. Eng Civil Engineering with 2 years post B.Eng Experience.

(f)        HND (Engineering) + M.Eng. (Engineering) in the same field with 2 years post M.Eng experience

Take this, it will not be accepted from next yr. Coren is going through a reform, you can’t be certified register with master degree without BEngr.

Coren is trying to match the requirement with international practice.

sultan003:
Even the top up stuff will still cause issues..

Originally, the program for OND/HND was meant to produce technologist and technicians from technical courses for the industry..

But over the years those incharge of the NBTE messed up the whole structure by allowing non technical courses to be included in the curriculum. For example, what is banking and finance or business administration doing there? Now if they graduate with OND/HND, where will they fit in bearing in mind that they graduated as technicians/technologist?

This is why we are have this discrimination because they will go seeking employment in civil service expecting to be treated the same as someone who has a degree in Business Adminstration or Banking and finance, meanwhile they were trained in a setting meant to provide skills for the industry.

In Engineering, with HND you are a technologist. Jobs dey that will employ technologist. Now after top up what are you now? Will COREN accept the top up degree and register you as an engineer and not a technologist?

See if the polytechnic sector cannot go back to their original mandate, then either it is upgraded to university or they shut it down make everybody find their way

Exactly my tot, many ppl don’t know there are differences… ppl Jst study but don’t know the background of what they are studying… Diploma is Diploma call it PGD or HND it is still diploma . Diploma has their roles. In Canada , if u want to be a nurse without going to university you can register a diploma course as practical nurse after graduation you start working as nurse assistant and that is how it is. If u want to be a registered nurse, with your diploma u apply to the university as a nurse. That is all

DolbyDigital:
"It's like a crash course".. 😂 Hole your mouth right there...

Yes , I have OND, Hnd , BEng and Masters so I know the differences very very well. BEng is purely designed, you are trained to design and research solutions or new ways of achieving it by understanding the concept. HND is like training you to maintain a task already done by engineers. In Nigeria , HND is more effective than BEng because we don’t designed rather we maintained what has already been imported. So if you pass through OND and HND you can work effectively in Nigeria system.

So HND holders are supposed to have more opportunities here. We don’t create , we only maintain and that is the job of Diplomas.

So no matter what HND can never be BEng. They own their different importance

HADI854:
Pls what do you mean by no longer accepted?
Pls explain

Okay after doing PGD then Masters, COREN will still not accept it…. B.Eng is the minimum requirement. These days COREN is working towards harmonizing with international engineering standard such that Engineers in Nigeria can be accepted all over the world without going through the rigor of their certification.

As a result, new policies are being put in place according to requirement of international standards. Engrs minimum requirement is still B.Eng as practiced all over the world.

stuffs2002:
HND + PGD + MSc will get COREN

No longer acceptable bro...

Myer:
And the solution is to convert it?
Who does that?

Bro all over the world HND certificate is not a degree, it is called higher diploma. Just like a crash course to get the practical skills of attending to task. Degree is degree, Hnd holders have their own advantages and disadvantages. If u want a degree get into the university

Any update on the just concluded coren exam and interview

They have dropped update, check your portal.

Like mine is recommended for council…

micxwell:
I'm about to start putting together my report. It's long overdue for me.

I've been into Environmental Health and Safety for over 5years now. 2 out of which I've spent as a Construction Safety Manager.

Do I have to do away with my designation and just stick to Civil Engineering?

N.B: I have a B.Tech and M.Sc in Civil Engineering.

You are a safety engineer then

Recommended for council…. Guys, what next?

richmond500:
The essence of these policies is to kill importation business and make Nigeria a production country.
Your business is not the only business that is dying, many business that depends on dollar has closed down and more will close too.

Time is coming when Naira will hit 5000 to a dollar. When this happens, foreign products will be difficult to purchase and we will have no choice but to buy made in Nigeria goods cos even a pair of foreign pants will be so expensive that only politicians can afford it while the rest of us will wear plantain leaves.

It's so annoying that the average secondary school student knows the dollar to naira exchange rate, that shows how we depend so much on the dollar and killing our own naira.
Until we patronize our own companies, we can't grow the economy, this painful stage is called the transition stage from foreign to local, the govt is not the problem but the time it takes Nigerians to accept the Nigerian goods will determine how long the pain will last.

In the next five years, we will fully accept our own economy and in the next ten years, we will have an economy that will beat France and Germany cos we have the market already.

Senseless, the govt… is not creating enabling environment for investors to coming , no manufacturing industries, nothing nothing, what are you saying here I don’t get

brunxy:
Good morning house. Please is the coren registration still open.? How can I go about it.?

Inbox me…

Isobug:
Probably, you didn't attend a polytechnic. Allow us that attended both Polytechnic and University to attest. How can you say polytechnic modules are slim compared to University. Perhaps they loaded you with extreneous materials in your university.
I studied Met and Mat Engineering in polytechnic and went on to start afresh for Pharmacy in University. No much difference between both. Just envious discrimination

Pharmacy, that is a wow….

Rufai1314:
The exam will be coming up from 9 to 12 of oct.2023

Can one seek for another prefer date outside his original assigned date?

falad4u200:
Congratulations to all of you that are invited for exams/interview I wish you all a success. I did mine last year Oct in Abj, av been given my registration number already and av gotten my notification letter awaiting d readiness of certificate, stamp and seal

Plz note:
2 stages of assessment

1. Written essay ( a. general engineering practice. B. Topic base on your discipline)

2. Oral Interview base on your technical report and possibly safety and environment in engineering field

This was wht I went 2ru last year so get prepared. Onces again congratulations and I wish u a successful examination

General engineering practices like what and what to expect the written exams?

If the interview date is four days, does it mean I need to choose one of the days for the interview or it implies the interview will be conducted for a single person in four days ?

Peter Obi is very very wise, he knows something like this will happen, so he sue them on his own name and with lp. The case file shows that LP and mr Peter Obi sue Tinubu and INEC. So if you knock LP out, Obi is there to hold you on your left leg…. I laugh in Swahili

Mcslize:
Exactly. He is thinking of a 9-5 job. How much will they pay him. 9-5 job can hardly make anyone rich. He is not fully a skilled crypto trader from the look of things. If he is he won't even think of doing any other thing.

He buys coins and sell when they appreciate. Anyone can do that na. I told him to go learn the technical aspect of trading. If he can master that, he will say bye bye to 9-5 job he is looking forward to.

He should go and get a good course and learn how to analyse crypto asset like Future trading. There is money in it if his Technical analysis skill is top notch.

Good man boss,

Can Send you a PM?

Thanks

Personally , I will advice u go with that option of your kid born abroad , train here and send back in future time for higher institution… Also , I don’t buy the idea of working for anyone if you already having some soft skills like you is crypto. My advice on career path is to enroll in a coding sch, and devote some of your time to master the skill very well. Then you can some intern job , over time you can venture into a self made business in your own skill where u can assist yourself. My one sent…

Hello house,

After 3yr6months she became positive to pregnancy , she went for 6weeks scan the result said there is a gestational sac with fetal node but no demonstration cardiac pulsation, the test should be repeated in 2weeks time.

Does this report called for worry?

Any explanation to this?

Thanks!

hamzacs:
Hello guys! I'm by name Hamza Hussaini. I'm a UK PhD scholar of PTDF. I was lucky to be among the successful applicants of last year. I went through all your posts and want to contribute on some few issues as;
✓ I want to make it clear that PTDF scholarship is merit based, even though it is highly competitive. Don't allow anyone to deceive you that the scholarship is for people with connections. I got the scholarship without knowing even the councillor of my ward. Try your best and pray hard.
✓ I have seen some applicants worrying themselves on the issues of publications and membership certifications at the moment, that they are on the process of acquiring such documents but couldn't make it before the deadline for the application. Please don't worry yourselves so long you can get them before the time for interview. They will allow those shortlisted full access to their portal so that they can update their portal about two weeks to interview time. PTDF interview panel members always grade applicants base on what they presented during interview not what was uploaded during application.
✓ The issue of change of course after been successful is not always possible. I was a victim of this. Have changed my course and PTDF denied me proof of funding for that. I had to go back and reapply for admission in different school. I wasted more than four months on this issue.
✓ The most important documents for the interview include:
* Research proposal/statement of purpose
* Class of degree/masters
* O'level
* Membership certificate
* Publications (even though this was not considered during last year's interview).
The last but most important thing is prayers.
Finally, my advice for you people is to keep on updating your research proposal/SoP before interview and make it part of you. Wish you good luck.

Can I pm you?

Tohmey:
VALUE AVERAGING

Can I pm u on this?

Tohmey:
my man buy Crypto and use VA method before 2-3months you have grab like 10-15% profit. . .
Thank me later!

what is VA method?

exstreve:
I noticed that most crypto news that come to nairaland front page are FUD and mostly bad news. Wtf is lazerpay and how many users do they have?

Same Nigerian media won't tell you that from December 2022 to this very moment bitc0in has doubled in price from $16k to $30k.

But no, it won't be reported, only irrelevant news to scare off investors.

Lol, no wonder most youth finish NYSC and settle for 15k job

Bros Abeg leave the sad news Mk them Dy share ooo, atleast police , efcc and Icpc nor go follow boys ooo. The day media start talking good about btc na if e hit 60k their on go stand and they will start chasing you and I again…

Learner247:
By all means. I hope I can be of help.

I just pm you kindly respond sir. Thanks

Blendy77:
Be calming down Sis, a lot of peeps have gotten results with clomid and letrozole. It didnt work for you doesnt mean its bad. So many factors have to be considered before using clomid. Your Age, tubes, uterus and sperm conditions. If any of these have comma clomid is not likely to work for u. There is a DIY local IUI we embarked on as a group last year and the results have been good especially with younger women so dont rule out clomid. Just ensure you take under Dr supervision or strict monitoring.

Can I pm u for details on this ... thanks

Zeewirld:
. Why wait till February?

I think for proper preparation…

Yes, IELTS + TEF can boost your points without Two or more certificates, Masters or PHD. That's what I did. It can help you to boost your crs scores regardless of age and also qualify for many french required PNPs

Wow thanks, I have masters, bsc, hnd and ond. I pray all these cert help sha. Thanks left with TEF..

Goodnigga:
Nothing wrong with your age for EE. The only thing is you will be losing points like 5 or 6 points yearly. You have these options:

Study Visa
PNP( If you can research well enough, you can get many provinces who will accept you.)

EE( FSW) , Degree, two or more certificates, Masters or learn French. At least two of these options should get you somewhere nice most expecially if you can pass TEF.

We have many people who are single and above 33 who are in the pool, about to get PR or have gotten PR. So don't write yourself out, you are still young.

peace!!!

Are you advising one should consider writing TEF also? Thanks
