Gentleme1:
It is very important for us to understand how HSE trainings and certifications runs before giving advise, this is because, a forum like this has the potency of spreading information (be it right or wrong) faster than mere word-of-mouth communications and the effect of giving a half-baked truth like the one constantly being peddled can be very dangerous.

1. ISPON is a great body for the regulation of HSE training and consultancy services in Nigeria, but it is also important for people to also know that ISPON is not the only one - there is NISCN (the mother of ISPON i.e. National Industrial Safety Council of Nigeria). This body has existed since the creation of Nigeria and even ISPON gives credence to this council (The Institute of Safety Professionals of Nigeria (ISPON) is a technical arm of the National Industrial Safety Council of Nigeria (NISCN) - http://www.isponnigeria.org/index.php/about-us).

The reason I cited this is to quell the notion that ISPON is the grandeur. ISPON is just an arm of Health and Safety and fortunately the largest arm but not the supreme body for deciding Health and Safety practices in Nigeria.

2. What are the services of ISPON? ISPON upon its formation was primarily a membership body of Safety Professionals i.e. Institute of Safety professionals of Nigeria and while the body has been successful over the years, it began seeking other areas of influence. Part of those influence was to be incharge of registering individuals and organisations before they could practice HSE and then also formulate policies under the endorment of NISCN. This was the reason its bill (ISPON Act 2014 and the NACOSH 2003) were passed in the national assembly. The question thus is, is ISPON the only body for training qualitative HSE in Nigeria? The answer is a resounding NO!

3. Why? Because, the Act that brought ISPON into power did not stipulate a closure of other notable players. The legal framework recommended that the sector should be split into 4 parts (although some stakeholders in ISPON are not yet implementing this recommendation, why? the Nigeria factor) namely Content Developers (to structure HSE services in Nigeria), Training Providers (to deliver training services), Examining Bodies (to ascertain competence of trainees) and Membership Bodies (to register them as recognised members). While this recommendation is still be delayed, other training providers such as Hybrid, Novelle, SMTS, JPTS etc have already become approved by ISPON to deliver HSE courses and are getting accredited and licensed by foreign bodies to deliver foreign HSE courses in Nigeria. Foreign courses are by far superior. How? ask NEBOSH, ask CEIH, ask British Safety Council. they have a global appeal, lets tell ourselves the truth.

4. Is the practice wrong? another resounding NO. The first question a prospective candidate should ask before running a course like the one in Novelle is to know if Novelle is a member of ISPON. if the answer is yes, then it simply shows that ISPON has attested their services and approved them to offer HSE course. If the answer is No, then it shows they should not be listened. A careful check through the Novelle site shows they are approved by ISPON, approved by NEBOSH, NISCN, BISO to offer HSE (such a centre is big, leave jokes apart). And what this implies is that they can offer any HSE course in Nigeria, it must not only be the ISPON general HSE. in UK, there are well over 4000 training bodies offering HSE, and before they can practice these training services they must be either approved by NEBOSH, BSC, IIRSM, ROSPA, CIEH, RSPHA, SHEORG) this is the same with the case of ISPON and NISCN in Nigeria. They are not the only recommended or highly proficient body for HSE training, they are rather the regulators.

5. Besides, it is also imperative to know that safety has 6 levels (HSE level 1,2,3,5,6,8,) and this standards are merely practised by the big players in Nigeria. level 6 in UK is equivalent to OND, while level 8 is equivalent to BSC. With a HSE level 8 (NEBOSH diploma) you can forge ahead to doing a Msc degree with any UK university. But sadly, this facts are not expressed here. I carefully see people wishing to run safety courses, but not many are properly schooled with facts in this noble sector.

6. Folks should not glorify any centre above another, ISPON doesn't do that, neither does NISCN do that. Lets always advise students to check if the training company is a member of ISPON or NISCN. If they are, then students should be allowed to conveniently offer their courses. Safety training should not be only centred on ISPON. Giving an unbiased view will help the training, service and practice of HSE grow in Nigeria.

I really appreciate ur clarification on HSE issue, as you said concerning HSE(level 1- that having done with NEBOSH diploma is equivalent to Bsc. So, sir for me having HND in Environmental Health Technology and certified with general HSE and HSE level 3 with ISPON,is it possible for me to go for NEBOSH diploma (i.e equivalent to Bsc) then later go for Masters? is there any possibility on that ....pls I need more clarification...#thanks

I really appreciates your clarification on HSE issue. concerning the HSE levels(1-,you said, having done with NEBOSH diploma is equivalent to BSc. OK, sir for me having HND in Environmental Health and Technology,& have certified with general HSE, HSE level 3 with ISPON.So, can I go for NEBOSH diploma ? (i.e to equivalent it to Bsc) then later go for Msc ...can it works like that #plsputmethru

i think this should enter front page

TJAhmad:
But it confused me. If the list really contains Non-Trades, then why they put them all under the Trades category. I think NAF only shortlisted those with NCE, ND or Trade Cert in relevant fields.

both were mixed on the list, and that's how NAF has been doing it years back

So far, I had noticed that they only select those with ND/NCE,trade test.(trade), I wonder why NAF neglected those with SSCE,(non-trade)....#whatsyathought

nathan12:
The list for airmen/ airwoman is out. Check it out @ aiiforce.mil.ng/downloads. I comes in 2 batches, batch A and batch B you can download and save the 2 batches. GOD Bless the Nigerian airforce.

pls bro send d downloaded list to me tru whatapp my no{08062328618}. av tried to follow d link but seems d site is busy

solidman59:
The list for airmen and women is out. Check it out here http://airforce.mil.ng/downloads

They are really recruiting many oo, 110 per state

pls bro send d downloaded list to me tru whatapp my no{08062328618}. av tried to follow d link but seems d site is busy

Really, but how sure are you

pls is it true? cos I'm trying to check the link nw but going

dammyllare:
One thing is certain though,if they don't postpone the airmen again which is taking place on 8th,then they will have no choice than to post it by monday

I sense dat,also....but earlier d better cos of d preparation, transport fare {to kaduna}.

yemostar:
Well critically observing how things are unfolding... i strongly believe that NAF would start inviting DSSC applicants to report to Kaduna by end of June / Early July... Looking at how NAF has arranged those of Airmen and Airwomen, their own is ending by 24th of June(Second batch), then unless we would be merged with them(which is not that plausible) So we may still have roughly about a month more to be invited...#justcriticallyobeserving

abi oo,I don't knw what's stopping them from releasing d shortlisted names for d final selection of the airmen/airwomen...#muchconcern

phoenix23401:
the basic salary for the nigerian army as a se ond lieutennat is around 180, 000, as a junior military first its important to bear in mimd that ur job description isnt fixed, u cld be at d war fromt, u cld be t an administrative office , there are even chances that u may never experienve real battle in a war front, if u are lucky, again it depends on ur field of study too, more often than not educationits end up in command schools teaching or rising to become commandants or the likes, medical hands end up in probably military reference hospitals or helpin in the battle field wv medications nd all, engineers same...the army even take pastors a d imams to serve as clergy too amng them. so just keep ur mind open, as for bizness i have seen a whole lot of military offices engave in several biznesses but more often than not they are run remotely, the military comes with a lot of perks, dignity, respect and u get to be a blessing to everyone that knws u in some way at some point helpin them out of troubles and all especially in nigeria here where the military officers are more or less demi-gods. Jts a worth while career nd u should follow, ild do the same if i were u.

@INDESTRUCTABLEX follow dis guy,that's just d fact

pafek:
By just 20% alone, dssc has over 400. Which is still double the previous intake

na LIE

standing in of table,folding hands

mimzy007:
In fact from my own point of view I believe that is what will happen. The Airmen still have another batch waiting to be trained as soon as The current batch passes out in June so even if they don't have their selection board now there is no problem, unlike ours where no one has been enlisted in the last 2 years.

No,that's wrong thought, the reason why the selection was postponed is known to them But after all they have done with the selection,final list will be released which Will be in two batches A and B per each states,whereby a date will be announced for the commencement of the training those in batch A in this year recruitment will join the batch B of last year for the six months training starting early July. DSSC selection is different,

guys check the NAF website the selection has been rescheduled for airmen/airwomen (ssce/OND.

zandora:
Based on what I can understand from your question you need a minimum of 1 year skilled work experience to apply under FSW. Furthermore if you're successful in obtaining the permanent residency you'll still need to apply for jobs when you get to Canada.

The only prob i had was when i removed my canvass,one female officer asked me to go and clean the paint on my toenails,i had to rush out and i came back sweating,when ekiti state comptroller saw me,she was like nobody has the right to tell us to clean the paint on our toes,or ask us to remove jewelries cos we are not N.I officers yet.


All in all,it was a good day,no questions asked and am thankful to God.
