You’ve probably seen many other cryptic initials following a name. That’s because thousands of associations use professional certifications to recognize individuals for being dedicated to their chosen career and to uphold a certain set of standards. Ask a certified professional "why?" and they'll tell you that the certification process is one of the single most important steps you can make in career development.

Take a look at the top 10 reasons you should consider professional certifications:

1. Certification demonstrates commitment to your profession. Receiving a certification shows your peers, supervisors, and, in turn, the general public how committed you are to your chosen career.
2. Certification enhances the profession's image. Association certification programs seek to grow, promote, and develop certified professionals who can stand "out in front" as examples of excellence in the industry or field.
3. Certification reflects achievement. A certified professional has displayed excellence in their field or industry and fulfilled set standards and requirements.
4. Certification builds self-esteem. You'll see yourself as a certified professional who can control his or her own professional destiny and find a deep sense of personal satisfaction.
5. Certification establishes professional credentials. Since it recognizes your individual accomplishments, certification stands above your resume, serving as an impartial, third-party endorsement of your knowledge and expertise.
6. Certification improves career opportunities and advancement. Certification gives you the "edge" when being considered for a promotion or other career opportunities. Certification clearly identifies you as an employee who can adapt to changes in work, technology, business practices, and innovation.
7. Certification prepares you for greater on-the-job responsibilities. Since certification is a voluntary professional commitment to an industry or field of knowledge, it’s a clear indicator of your willingness to invest in your own professional development.
8. Certification provides for greater earnings potential. As a certified professional, you can expect many benefits, but in today's downsized, right-sized, topsy-turvy working world, salary increases speak for themselves.
9. Certification improves skills and knowledge. Achieving certification highlights your individual competence by confirming proficiency, knowledge, and career commitment.
10. Certification offers greater professional recognition from peers. Hear that applause? It's all for you! As a certified professional, you can expect increased recognition from your peers for taking that extra step in your professional development.

One jex has to be careful hanging around their friends wives. Once ur friend gets married, giv him 30 yards coz d woman may coz enimity with ur friend of over 10 years...av seen dt happen

mickells:
Is there any way that one can get experience while studying or trying to get more certification?

Studying for any of the certifications above, exposes you to real life experiences from industry personnel present, video tutorials and practical assessments

247Dior:
Experience is better coz I have seen a mechanical engineering graduate who can not loose I pass my neighbor generator

Like it was said in the post, in some circumstances, a professional certification can make all the difference between landing a job and not being considered for it at all.

EXPERIENCE VS. CERTIFICATION: WHICH WILL REALLY HELP YOU GET A BETTER JOB IN THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY?

This is probably the most perennial and oft-repeated question young people ask, and it doesn't seem to matter if economic times are good (as they were two years ago) or bad (as they appear to be right now). The real answer to this question is "both:" employers want individuals with relevant, hands-on experience who can relate to on-the-job requirements, but they also want individuals who've been trained on current versions of systems, software, practices and procedures, who know the employer’s official take on such things.

In some circumstances, a professional certification can make all the difference between landing a job and not being considered for it at all. In others, it's not really useful and most hiring managers will look for experience or skill over a set of letters after your name. If you can't tell, it's not cut and dried, and the answer is a little complicated. Let's cut through the fog and help you understand when certs are really valuable and when they're just nice to have.

First, Not All Certifications are Created Equally
Some professional oil and gas certifications require that you study hard and pass a test, others require that you have years of experience in a specific field before you can even apply to be considered. Before you decide that maybe getting a certification is your ticket to a career jump or a promotion, you need to determine whether or not the types of certifications that will get you ahead in your field are the ones that require skills, experience, or just a few classes.

Search for Certifications Useful in Your Field
The first thing you should do is start looking at the people in the positions you'd like to aim for. See what certifications they have, and what it takes to earn them. See if there's a kind of certification "ladder" that can get you from where you are now to where you want to be. Whether it's a technology certification or a professional title, or Oil and Gas Certifications, there’s usually some series of stepping stones to help you get there. Here are some places to start your search:
1. Check the job listings you are interested in
2. Browse LinkedIn industry groups
3. Browse LinkedIn company groups
4. Look for professional groups and societies for your field


The Most Valuable Certifications are the Advanced Ones
It is those higher-level, industry and position-specific certifications that are the most valuable, and while the lower level ones shouldn't be dismissed, they don't make you stand out as much as they may have a few years ago. Will an IOSH or a NEBOSH Certification help you get the edge over someone else? Maybe, but someone else with experience or knowledge they can demonstrate in an interview can easily edge out someone with little more than a cert to their name. On the higher end though, some companies won't even consider a safety professional that doesn't have a NEBOSH Certification, so if you don't have it (or the experience required to get it), you're out of luck.

Start with the Certs that Matter for Your Career, and Train Up From There
We've talked about the relative value of various certifications up to this point, but just because a cert is low-level or has little competitive value doesn't mean you shouldn't get it if it's applicable to your career.

So someone getting their start in Health, Safety and Environment (HSE), for example, should consider those base-level HSE certifications like IOSH Working/Managing Safely and then move on to advanced courses like NEBOSH IGC, NEBOSH IOGC and NEBOSH Diploma. If you're interested in Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC), Non-Destructive Testing (NDT II) is the best certification to start with before you can proceed to Certified Welding Inspector (CWI), American Petroleum Institute (API) Certifications. If you’re also interested in carrying out Quality Audits, Health & Safety Audits, etc., your best bet is PECB Accredited ISO 9001 (Quality Management System auditor course), OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health and Safety auditor course), etc.

The easy certs that anyone can study for and take may not be the key to a better job on their own, but they're definitely the building blocks of a better career, if you're willing to stick to them. Remember, once you start training up, you can always move in different directions, so don't assume that you're stuck in one field or along one training path. Your stepping stones are there to give you flexibility and room to move around, not lock you into a specific career path.

The Bottom Line: Yes, Internationally Recognized Oil and Gas Certifications can help you get a JOB.
As with many things, which certifications you start with depends highly on the career you're interested in and the path you want to take. All of them cost money, so we would encourage you to talk to your manager. Your company may be willing to pay for training classes and certification tests if it's in their interest to make you a more skilled and valuable employee—many companies do.

Below are list of Oil and Gas training and certification programs you can choose from
Health, Safety and Environment (HSE)

It will interest you to know that over 100 million Nigerians who are technology savvy had averagely spent N15,000 or more depending on the social status to purchase a smartphone. Over 30 percent of Nigerians spend between N60,000 and N100,000 on high end smart phones just to make a technology statement. (Sunnewsonline August 25, 2014).

Why spend so much on smart phones rather than invest in your career? People need a broad range of skills to contribute in a modern economy and to contribute you must have basic skills employers need.

This is where we come in. At Gennesaret Resources Nigeria Limited, we are charged with equipping you with professional skill sets that employers in the Oil and Gas sector needs for the year 2015.
