Whose knows how the course outline will look like? Accommodation arrangements etc

Saryea83:
I really want to get to the root of this matter. I have called my guy who trained n works in Laser to check if really any doc had been forwarded to them. He promised to give me feedback from now till Friday.

That will be good! Please when you get the feedback, kindly share with the house. Cheers

We need all the information!

Abrahamtaylour:
[b]Hi, sorry I've not had any valid info to post here recently but I've been keeping tabs on the thread..... So I finally summoned courage to call the Ptdf number yesterday, it was a very long conversation but she was really nice. Well, in summary she said her Job description was short; to call some numbers sent to her from the head of "local content" and to forward 2 copies of information received (i.e the emails and addresses) one to the IT department and the other back to the head of local content. That's all.... She again said the IT department were to forward a copy of the info to the "institute" alongside names and some docx (in her words, which is to mean laser in ph I hope not some shrine in Ayo's village Again she said a couple of forged documents have been identified and names withdrawn during the thorough scrutiny all applicants documents where subjected to. so my guess is as good as yours. Training is on course... As huge plans are in progress and this government is fully committed to making this work as most professionals (Not workers) in the oil and gas sector aren't Nigerians and with the dwindling oil prices in the global market we can't afford to pay foreigners to explore our black gold. So it's safe to say #employnaijatogrowthenaira. Maybe if we apply ourselves diligently to what we would have been doing if we weren't called by Ptdf time will fly before we know it and we'll receive our mails sooner. So I expect saryea and untildotcom and a tiny part of ayopedro to have faith like Charles has been preaching from now on.[/b] have a nice day

Haha... Thank you Abraham, but my faith is running out on daily basis...

I appreciate your effort in following up the training for us from your own end, you've helped to calm nerves here and reduce BPs.

They should tidy up necessary stuffs and get to us, we want learn!

I tried checking out laser oil ND gas training website ND i read about there training time table wich starts in April, every session.. So I'm kinda wondering if Der is any sense in Dat to d cause of d delay.. But let's hope for gud news dis time around..

Well I don't really think so since it's a special training it might not necessarily follow their academic calendar but I'm not sure cos there's one in October too.

If anyone can get across to them should let us know.

Happy new month people!

We are in a new month and the wait continues, but while we wait we can brainstorm on what to expect from the training. Practicals, Field trips etc

Like what are your expectations?

charleslifted:
@saryea83, u shouldn't get ur sef worked about this issue.. D fact is d training will hold.. U shud knw Dat activities in most sectors is stalled because of d budget AND dis training has to do wit financing from d government.. Once everything is in place, d training will surely kick start.. So chill

Okay! Which budget are you talking about? 2016? The training was advertised in early 2015, I think March 2015 as oil and gas training and later modified to geoscience training in August 2015 so one will want to think that it was captured in 2015 budget. If it's 2016 budget then it will take a long time to commence.

The MD has been replaced with the director in charge of training so this shouldn't be a problem for him as he won't need time to hit the ground running.

So I'm still wondering what is delaying the commencement of this training. One needs to charge his brain soon!

Saryea83:

So let's see.

Will this week be the week?

tafrica:
Hello Peeps,

Kindly permit as this post may not be ideal for this room because there's a particular room for this purpose but there are no activities on that thread anymore.

For those that have contact with PTDF, could you please help inquire about Oil and Gas Field Training also? We haven't received any updates from them, unlike how Geosciences Peeps are being called.

Any response will be appreciated.

Thanks.

The OGFTP is pending for now. Here is the press release.

Saryea83:
still waiting for mine sha or won't they call me since I sent all my details including my CV containing house address, phone no,email etc? could it be the reason i have not haerd from them?




At least, with the latest development, there is still hope! congrats to all, who received the call!

You maybe right, I sent my CV too containing all the details they are requesting from others and I have not been called.

Hope rising...

I have not been called.

Good news...

charleslifted:
Try ND make confirmations yourself.. ND stop being apprehensive.. @untildotcom

Sorry I'm not being apprehensive, it's just a way to keep tabs on a weekly basis. This wait is even small, check other threads, peeps have been waiting for more than three years now...

Besides, this is not the only opportunity, maybe when they'll be ready, I might not be interested again.

Cheers

A new week is here again...


The wait continues...

Saryea83:


My dear, u shudn't blame oo cos ds govt thing dey tire me. 2006 I was 1st in my state for BEA Scholarship and 2008 2nd in my state after the aptitude test but at the end no show. to travel out for studies after all the stress no show. So am speaking from experience

Hmmm... Very surprising. I understand your fears, I wasn't contacted too, but I believe this will work out for us.

charleslifted:
@saryea83... Dnt be a man of little faith... You should b grateful u whr called. Wat if u weren't called at all.. Dat wan NA anoda story ooo.. It's beta to wait Dan not to be called at all.. Lol

were people called? I wasn't called ooo...

Abrahamtaylour:
I just left the office this morning and in in my opinion the wait will soon be over. And I strongly believe it will be worth it...

Thank you Abraham for your efforts.

Saryea83:
I can see ptdf is not serious cos I applied.

Yes, their plans keep changing, earlier it was oil and gas training. After, several months, they cancelled it to geosciences training.


What should we expect now?

Another week is here, what should we expect?


Continuous silence or the anticipated information?


The wait continues...

I have been following the programme for a while now. At times I do not understand why government projects are always very slow, at times it can take years.

For this programme, if they have finished shortlisting candidates, why not publish it pending when the programme starts. They came up with this training in August and till date no message to the applicant on what to expect until some people had to pay them a visit to enquire about what is going on.

They should understand that we also have plans, some of us won't like to abandon the programmes we have enrolled in half way to attend to this one or abandon this one to attend to another. This is January, so many opportunities will pop up, we need to tick some and leave some. It's better we know our stands early enough so we know how to plan. Some people might have to leave their state of residence down to Port Harcourt thereby abandoning what one had already started!

I want to believe that before they opened for applications they had already planned everything, so why does it look like they didn't have a plan in the first place? Please don't tell me about funding, that must have been captured in the 2015 budget so what is causing all this delay and waste of time?

InsaneTamie:
And you opened a thread about it? All hail the king of lazy youths, You!

You see what I am talking about. So what is the criteria for opening a thread?

Oh I see, when Tonto Dike prepares a watery soup

Or when Ini Edo wears a sexy outfit for AMAA awards

Or when Maheeda releases raunchy photos

Or when Tiwa slips while on stage

Or a pastor is caught having sex with somebody's wife in his office

Etc

You surely need help bro, you IQ is low that's why intelligent topics are not appealing to you.

Nairaland these days lack interesting intellectual topic for discuss. If someone post any long article, the response you get is, 'too long', 'can read', etc. How does the youth intend competing with their mates from other climes without an intellectual discuss?

Topics like this doesn't seem to interest Africans nay Nigerians, why?

growth

And thats makes them arrogant and sophisticated
Btw dont guys use this gadgets even in gatherings.....

NB am not trying to derail ur points buh I want you to know that its not logical to just wake up and start bashing women or because u had a terrible experienxe with one,degrade all oda

Women should come out clean! That's my point. Have you read the whole post in the blog?

misspicy:

I was getting some advice from this article until I got here,are you sayinh women women should stop.using high tech and expensive.gadgets or make some type if hair do or carry some type of handbags or even use expensive accessories so that they will not look sophisticated or arrogant?

Please expanciate on this coz I dont understand.

No, that's not the point. They use these gadgets to cover up their emptiness as they are always glued to them. In a gathering, it is sensible enough to drop your gadgets and stop pinging and chatting and discuss with people. It is more lively!

Women’s sophistication
