itis very possible he used dumps to prepare for the exam.

it is also very possible he didnt.

the end of the story is that he took the exam and passed at a very young. and its something we should be very proud of. i work in the i.t training field and i know people within the age 18-35. even with the brain dumps they still fail these certification exams.

and nigerians should stop seeing thr negative in what other people and stop judging people. whether the kid used brain dumps or not. am proud of him.

he knows what over 500,000 corpers dont know.

and as for him wanting to study medicine and doimg mcp. mcp is relevant in whatever field you find yourself in.

asian and american kids achieve great feats and their countrymen dont say negative things abt it.

Certification here and there. Don't their parents think it's too early for that. Rather than to push kids to be certified, it is at this age they should be allowed to discover themselves and be creative. The boy that wants to become a medical doctor, how is MCP going to be useful in his career? Should the boy be encouraged? Yes. Should he be celebrated? No. Go to China, Russia and the U.S and see the kind of things the teenagers there are creating and coming up with. Some of them are involved in high level programming, hacking, beta testing etc. Afterall, it was a 15 year old that successfully hacked the pentagon some years ago. MCP is just a certificate that shows you can manage, configure and maintain a Windows OS. At age 13 I could do that already. I didn't just go ahead to write MCP. Nigerians and certificates sha.

before doing any certification. do you your research. ask yourself these questions

1. is it viable?
2. will it add/upgrade ur skills?
3. what do you intend to achieve doing that particular certification?
4. how valuable is it in the nigerian job market?
5. what are your goals and objectives career-wise?

there are jobs everywhere but no skilled graduates. doing a professional exam or certification doesnt guarantee u a job. if u learn d right skill. u'll get the right job. so stop nagging and do ur research well.

obitrac: . my guy stop spewing rubbish.so many of us have done professional courses with our hard earn money yet dis employers of labor keep taking us for a ride.imagine after paying so much to acquire specific skills,u are paid peanuts say 30k as salary even as contract staff with no job security.how can one raise a family with dat? Seriously our labor unions are not doing their job

As an elect/elect grad, would suggest you go into networking. And not just do it to get a job but understand the technologies. Then good job offers will come knocking.

lokojay89: Please as an Elect/Elect Engring graduate, which professional course I can put in for during my service year?

Cmiller: Studied Agric. Engineering, so what professional course should I take? Please

Professional courses are for everyone irrespective of your field. All it requires is your passion and interest. you are the best person to decide on whatever field you want to major in.

This post should not just be about talk, talk, talk. We need to discuss ways of building ourselves and assisting one another. Remember this is service year we are to use this period to build ourselves. 19800 would stop by Oct. What happens after that?

Nigerian always ready to point fingers. That's why the police always take advantage of you.

You read the princewill comment and started judging micheal collins ( Don Jazzy )

What happened to fair hearing?

Do you know what princewill did to get the beating?

You go to someone's club to spend money, the club own will not touch you except you over step your bounds.

Or have you gone shopping and the shop owner beats you?

Nigerian listen to both parties before judging next time.

I am not been biased. I am just been honest with the situation of things. In a country with very high unemployed youths and inadequate access to information.
PMP, CAPM, Price2, ITIL are of no use till you have a job you are currently working on. You call yourself rich_pmp. Do you even know the difference btwn PMP, CAPM and Prince2, why these differences and what are the real reasons they were designed for... And i am not imposing any certification on anyone. I just dont want limited resources to be wasted.

mZ sleeq: pls house, wah abt professional courses 4 science students?

There are a lot of professional exams for science students.

Here is a phone number of a customer representative for New Horizon. He'll put you through.

Who told you that taking PMP, HRM and Project Management Courses cant ensure Job opportunities for corpers after service??, If you really must be seen as high profile after your Service year, these courses you are neglecting are the ones that can guarantee you a space in the ever dynamic world of employment.

A PMP or a CAPM, will not only let your prospective employer put a premium on you but also put you in the eyes of world employment. These Certifications are international standards.

So pl reconsider your commment and inclination.

PMP, CAPM , ITIL are courses that require working experience. Its only in nigeria you see a corper doing PMP and can't defend it on a real life project. Because he/she never handled one. The Project management institutes know these, but won't tell you the truth. They only want to make profit. I worked for one and I know how the system works. Do PMP & SHE, 2yrs you will still be job hunting.

Certification to do during service.. am sure different companies must have bombarded you with different certifications and prices. But i want u corpers to know. this is nigeria. And as a corper there is no experience level. So go for certification that will cover your experience..

CCNA, CCNP networking
OCA OCP database
ICAN ACCA accounting
MCSE MCITP (add excel & word) Microsoft System
CIPM
CRM SCM E_business
CEH CHFI Security


These courses below are waste of resources for a corper as they wont get you a job.
(PMP ITIL, HSE, human resource management, project+, CAPM)
