hello all
I really need anyone in the human resource department of any oil firm who deal in marine services

or any other person who might have an idea about this topic/question.

I am a recent graduate of mechanical Engineering, and i would really love to go into marine engineering.
although i know that my degree in mechanical engineering sets me on the way to this particular field, but

i would like to know about any other required courses/certification to be taken so as to be qualified for an opportunity in this sector.
at least the basic certifications i might need, for an entry level position, E.g MEA or Second engineer position.
any useful information will be highly appreciated.


I am currently looking at places where i can get hands on training on diesel engines at the moment.
so as to equip myself with some knowledge and understanding of the field.

I need this information so i can start preparing myself, before and after my NYSC duties.

N:B   I did my Industrial training with a marine and offshore company, and thats where i fell in love with the field.
i am looking forward to getting information that will help me prepare and hopefully get a Job.

thank you for your anticipated responses.

any ideas please

your Mech Cert go across many field including marine engr.
Your have 2 options
1st is either you look for job in a marine or an oil industry because they are some professional cert for you to have and mostly workshop practical that might be too expensive for you outside the country.

2nd u can also go to marine time academy at VI as a graduate with cert in mech you don't  have to start as fresher because it has many stages of exams

it about 3 consecutive stage programme to study and also write the exams.  from their you learn workshop practical where you see little different between mech & marine because the workshop is what will put you in the marine field.

you can go their to make inquiry.

best regards
wish you good luck

thanks for all your response

Me on the other hand, I ao planning to go study marine engineering abroad as MSc. I would just like to know what it takes, cost financially, the exams to take, the 1 class and 2nd class thing, CoC thing, everything that can help because like my fellow colleague I have no idea about anything on it, I hav just had the passion for it.[/size]
