Topic: Marine engineering job for everyone who cares

Thank you sir may God bless you .

..nice one guy

Thanks Big Sam for the info. But I'd like to know the cost of embarking on any of the training required to obtain these qualifications.

I concur wit wat Sammie said, I know a couple of these Marine Boys living in my area, d guys r doin well aftr jst a few yrs, see dem erecting structures here and ther (funny part is dt most hv jst SSCE), though d ones I knw got into these companies based on their Brother who is a CLO 2 one foreign firm.
To get those papers Sammie talked about cld cost u approx 150k.
@Sammie: U missed 1 out, dats "Seaman's Passprt".its diff frm Intl passport but nt dt expensive.

Thanks to papa Sam, May God continue to bless us all. but these trainings are only done in PH or any distance learning?

The training is also done in nigerian maritme academy, oron, akwa ibom state as sammy said. You can google their site for details. The issue is money but god will help us...

Aside from those two maritime academy, is there any other place(s) like in Lagos, where it's done? And how long does this training last? Is one issued all those certifications including seaman's passport after the training?

@Helex: The STCW is an offshore safety certification, so u can ask aboit it in any center dt does siuch. It lasts for 5 days, costs btw 60-70k. The other docs will be sourced by U. Though d training center u do ur stuff cld assist u based on ur rapport with dem. The Seaman Passport is done at Immgration office jst lik d Ntl Passport.

@Cipha: how much does all those documents plus certification cost? and give me some examples of centres that offer the training in Lagos if you know any.

@Helex: Like I said in my comment above about 150k cn cover all includin Intl Passport, medical cert etc. I dnt knw about Lagos centers cos I reside in PH, but do a little googling and u shld com up with somtin.

For training centres in lagos, u could get very good info 4rm NIMASA office somewhere arnd apapa, nt sure of d address.
Buh, preferably, i'll advice u do the training either in ph or akwa ibom in d schools mentioned above.
Stcw in charkin is 75k, oron is a little less.
@cipha, u dnt longer need a seaman passport, d new int'l or e-passport covers that too. These are d basic requirements
Stcw '95
seaman medical cert
int'l passport
discharge booklet
yellow card.
