As a thoroughbred Nigerian, I will start by answering your simple question with plenty questions. Why do you need the HSE certificate? What is the end game? What is your background? Do you have a current offer or do you have anyone showing you the way? Which country or part of the world are you going?

Now back to your questions:

It is a risk. In my opinion, If you can afford it and you have other skills, it may not be a bad idea. If you struggle to put the money together and you're planning to travel out, it may be worth it. If you can't afford it and you know nothing about the field apart from the name, the risk gets even bigger. Unless if you have other plans sha.


Make I talk true, I'm totally clueless about this part. Job postings that I have seen for HSE positions require more than 2 or 3 weeks of HSE training.


There are HSE Professionals and there are folks (especially engineers) that take such courses as an add-on to the feathers in their cap as they practice their profession or to increase their scope of influence within their organization.

In my opinion, HSE certificate alone can not help you if you do not have other skills to build on. This includes some education (I'm not just talking about degree here) and lots of soft skills, especially people management (I do not mean management skills o, but the art of dealing with all kinds of people - especially people that do not want to comply with what you have been told to enforce).

In some basic HSE roles, you get trained (on top of your certificate) and you only need to do what you're told - fire watch, safety watch, confined space watch, etc. In some other roles, you need to be very familiar with regulations, policies or even the trade you are working with. Of course, the path to get to these roles will be significantly different.


Your comment struck the bull's eye. I'm a NEBOSH holder myself and I found your comment spot on.

The certificate is useless except you want to be a Safety Professional.

Otherwise, use the money to build technical skills more relevant to your career.

Get a mentor who is excelling in your desired field to guide you.

I'm an HSE officer. HSE certifications are very lucrative but you said you want to do HSE level 1-3 which is the basics for beginners. How come it's up to that amount? 400k. Cos Ispon is about 70k for HSE 1-3 or did you add up with Nebosh or Osha certifications as well to come up to that amount?

Ask the guy well o. Maybe na for Dubai he wan go do am that's how he arrived at that cost.... Even with Nebosh it's not up to 400k. Nebosh is 250k now, or even cheaper if u wanna do it online and not in classroom

why not just register for National Power training Institute of Nigeria. it is a 12 months programme that is subsidized for 750,000.

You spending your personal money on HSE is not ideal... The best way to acquire it and get recognize is when the company you are working for chose you. After the training, they give you more recognition and increase ur salary. The one I went for since 2012, no company has ever called me for an interview base on it.. I only include it in my CV just to boost my chances of been employed. But i later removed it... I believe HSE certificate is needed in company's that deals with chemical, eg oil company, factory's, construction company, seal port and so on. Now, ask ur self.. how many oil company is in Lagos, how many construction company is in Lagos, how many factory's are In lagos. Most of these company if you don't have strong connection you can hardly get job there.

First of all, HES 1-3 is less than 100k and you have to do it with ISPON otherwise, it will not be recognized.
You can opt to do a project and all that stuffs to become a certified member either as MISPON AISPON depending on how good your project is.

If you want to go further in the field, you can do NEBOSH for around 200-250k which greatly gives you an edge in the safety industry and then you can do an ISO course depending on the sector you have interest in be it food safety, industrial, offshore, etc.

Generally, if you have the following with a year of experience, you are good to go and your prospects will be high

Hello Naira landers,

I looked up the cost of enrollment for HSE 1-3. It's almost around 400K. Considering the economy, is it wise to spend that kind of money on training?

How lucrative is having a HSE certificate in the job market?

Which jobs are readily available for HSE holders?

Sorry it took me this long to reply. Nairaland said I have to wait some hours. I don't know why.
Skills you can learn and market or use for your business are:
Digital Marketing
COPY writing
Graphics design
Web development
AI
Data Science and Analytics (in hot demand and pays well abroad).
These are the ones I can mention for now. After learning, market your skills on freelance platforms or even offline.
God go help us. Amen.

What's the cost of NEBOSH Construction Safety?
I've done NEBOSH IGC. I'm looking for a fairly grounded safety course I can do for construction as I am looking at going back to construction. I currently work with NBC which is more geared towards process safety.
I want to beef up my knowledge of construction safety.
I also heard IOSH has something related to that.

That's a good development, the cost depends on a number of factors though. There are approved learning partners that offer the course also depending on your location.
I use SHeilds and based in the UK, my role is primarily risk management on a construction project here.

https://www.nebosh.org.uk/qualifications/health-and-safety-management-for-construction-uk/
Here's the official link for more info though.

HSE as a Career is very lucrative. Its required in any fields. Be it Processing, Construction, Public and name it. Course's varies. As a fresher, I'll advise to start up with OSHA 48 Hours which is around 120K. It can be done online. It's U.S Certification Body. After then, you can Procede with the likes of IOSH Managing Safely and NEBOSH. British Body. I bet you won't regret your decision.

Hello daddy, how are you doing? Hope you're good? I have been following your posts for a while now and I guess it's time to take actions. Sir, firstly I'll introduce myself to you, I'm Usman by name, 25. A first degree holder from Unilorin. I am also a British International Safety Organization certified Health Safety and Environmental management level 1 to 3 holder. I currently work as a Safety Officer.

It has always been my dream to travel to these gulf countries to work and broaden my experience in this safety field. But as it is right now, I don't mind coming in and starting as a cleaner or any other menial job, (skillwise, I am a pro horticulturist with about 6 years experience, I can show you projects I have handled in the past) first before grabbing the opportunity to work as a safety officer later.

My plan is to resign from my current job by the end of the year but as it is right now, if the opportunity shows up I'll take it up immediately.

Sir I want you to help me, I know it's really hard to help people and besides you don't know me from anywhere and don't owe me anything. Please sir, I don't mind what it will cost me, at least I have save something so far even though I don't think it's tangible enough but at least I can do something if I need to spend money.

I don't mind to forgo a certain percent of my salary to you or any agent for like 3-6 months depending on your terms. Please help me sir, how do I contact you sir? I'll like to show you my CV and my pervious projects I've done as an horticulturist.

I'm really hoping to hear from you soon.

Regards,
Usman
