Q&A ON PROJECT MANAGEMENT, HSE, MANAGEMENT & COMMUNICATION CAREERS
Hi Jarus,
My name is Kola, I am a graduate of Physics from a federal university and will like to further in Geophysics. I am currently a corper (2016 Batch A) serving in Nasarawa state. I have been following you all the way from Nairaland to Jarushub for over 3 years now and I must say you are doing a great job especially for the youth.
I will like to get your opinion on the following:
(i) Between a Proficiency Certificate in Management by NIM-Nigeria Institue of Management (Chartered) and a Project Management Professional (PMP) which would be more useful (give me more options) in the future considering my discipline and future career path.
(ii) Please is Health Safety & Environment (HSE) course the same everywhere because over here in Nasarawa they say it will run for 4 weeks (week days) or 5 weeks (weekend). Considering how its importance is emphasised on various threads on Nairaland and on career articles in general, I am having doubt if they will be competent enough. Also the fee is N10000, I don’t know whether its a red flag but they said its at a discounted rate for corps members hence the above fee.
I want to enrol for either of them very soon.
Thanks in anticipation.
Dear Kola,
1, I think PMP is better.2, A lot of the HSE trainings are frauds. NEBOSH appears to be the best. But if you have the 10k to spare, no harm in doing it. At least it will be on your CV.I wish you all the best.Jarus
Dear Jide,Well, you don’t need to know accounting. You will start from somewhere. I also hated accounting before starting ICAN.I will also advise you go for ACCA or ICAN.Jarus
