AM really confussed cos i need a better job,though i work in an engineering firm presently. I have an HND IN ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING. Pls everyone should advice me.
i'll advice u to go 4 automation engineering at aeti if u want to build urself 4 ur career.more over automation is perfect 4 u bcos of ur backgroud
Pls go for your certificate course, 4get pgd 4now. Ur certificatin determine ur marketability in engineering technology. If u wrk in ministry or parastatal, I wil advice u 2go 4pgd. But u ar in d industry, cetification boosts u. Am a coleague- EE. I hope to get d resourse to pursue mine soon.

It has been my dream to know how some of these devices work and now I can confidently speak to at least 65% capacity wise like a true engineer. Forget those things you studied in school because the impact is just 5% theoritical based. At this institute, you get to see everything pratical and do lots.
So far I have learnt the following. Basic Electronics, Pneumatics, Ac Frequency drive, Troubleshooting and starting up of electric motor-star delat mode, PLC, PROGRAMMABLE LOGICAL CONTROLLER, VSD variable speed drive, instrumentation , technical report writting and HSE.
I am rounding up this class come this weekend with my certificate at hand after a 3 months training. One thing this has done to me and I know who be of use to me in the future is this, once I get a call for any interview and am ask to tell them what I have..Brother,I am sure of not talking like a novice. I would kill them with the way most of this things operate because I have seen it work and I have done it. So do it as it open for every engineering graduate. If you might want to know, I am a Chemical-Petrochemical Engineering graduate with a good classification but I tell you in my CV, my training was clear stated the way I have explained them in this post. And because of this I get calls for test whereas am still a corper that would be passing out Feburary. So take your chance brother...Wishing you all the best. ;)
@adexzy007 pls how much is the trainng (full cost ) and what is actually the duration of training.are the students attached to any company.ur response would be highly appreciated.
The real cost is 275 thousand but there is a room for scholarship based test that would give slash in the cost by 40%. I paid 110 thousand naira as a corper having passed the scholarship exam while it would be 165 thousand for those that are not corpers should they pass the exam. The duration of this program is 3 months, every saturday and sunday...
As for the AETI placing you for jobs after the training is not guarantee but so far we all have been placed on a special preference for whatever job that fall within their control. AETI is a subsidary of michale steaven consulting and so if any outsourcing falls within their purview. You can be rest assured you would hear before anyone outside the school does. Also if I can recall, NBC(coca cola gave them a recruitement contract to carry out for the company and most of us knew before anyone outside.
@adexzy007,do AETI have a training center in PH?
I don't think so...Nope they dont
@adexyz007 please try to alert the house when there scholarship form is out.thanks
I would have love to but I do not think after this weekend would still be knowing much about the state of the insititute. I would advice to often place call to this number(08186793668) for your inquiry. regards'
@Adexzy007, tanx so much 4 d info
You welcome!!!
I am very interested too, i reside in Ph, pls let us know when the form is out may be then, there will be a centre for Ph candidates.
I do not think I would be in position to know when the forms eventually comes out. Also the facilities they have in prototype to teach students are quite expensive and could be difficult to have in place for those willin in port harcourt.So lagos is the only place for now. :o
