Training and Certification Requirement in O&G : QA / QC Sectorial
Memandangkan sekarang ni, agak terhad dana (fund) yang boleh kita perolehi dari pihak kerajaan, maka saya lakarkan disini TYPICAL PRICING untuk Training & Certification bagi sector QA / QC industri O&G. Bagi yang bercadang untuk menceburi bidang inspection yang tertentu, maka boleh buat perancangan kewangan yang mana satu untuk dibuat pelaburan kerjaya. Ianya satu jumlah yang agak signifikan jika ianya memerlukan SELF-SPONSORSHIP.
Setiap tahap (Level) mempunyai kelebihan dan tahap kongkongan yang ditetapkan oleh certification scheme yang diperolehi. Sebagai contoh, kelayakkan NDE personnel yang diperolehi (tidak termasuk kelayakkan / pengalaman sampingan lain yang diperolehi) tidak melayakkan mereka untuk REVIEW / APPROVE sebarang DRAWING / DESIGN, Repair Procedure, Joint Design etc. Dalam masa yang sama, tanggungjawab utama mereka terhadap peralatan yang diperiksa juga agak ringan. Ini akan ditanggung oleh API Inspector pula yang mana keputusan akan dibuat untuk peralatan tersebut.

Keys to Building Networks Over Time
The purpose of professional networking is to gain information, increase your visibility in your field, and establish personal connections that will help you advance in your career. No matter how much you love your job, you should always be looking for ways to expand your networks because, ideally, your contacts will follow you from position to position. A strong network allows you to get advice from trusted sources, to keep your professional knowledge current, to find career opportunities, and to support the careers of others.
Your network should have lots of variety; individuals from different companies, career levels, and professions can add a range of perspectives. Keeping in touch with your college friends who might be in different companies and industries is a great way to populate your network. Joining a professional association in your field and regularly attending its events is also a smart idea. Finally, investigate your company’s sponsored programs; many organizations provide opportunities for individuals to network within the company. Training events, visits from management, guest speakers, or various types of interest-based events can yield the same type of contacts as an external event.
Know that it takes time to authentically populate your network. But also know that each new contact is a step in the right direction. When I first got into educating people on twentysomething workplace issues, it was startling how helpful I found just one meeting of the Chicago chapter of the American Society for Training and Development. I walked out of the event with business cards for several potential clients and mentors. My network increased after only one event.
Before going to such an event, think about what you hope to get out of attending. Is it general knowledge? Is it a new contact in your field? Or perhaps you are looking for someone to provide input on one of your projects? Understand who the speakers will be at the event and how you might contact them or access their materials in advance of or after the event. Also, learn what other companies and individuals might be at the event. Prepare a few questions that you want to explore, and set a goal to answer them at the event. For example, if you want to do an informational interview—a thirty-minute conversation with an expert on a new development in your field—your goal may be to find someone at the event with that type of expertise.
Many experts are willing to speak and share their knowledge, but some may not be as willing. Don’t become discouraged. It may take a few attempts at building your network to make a personal connection. Once you have received an initial response and are moving forward with an interaction—whether it’s in person or via e-mail or phone—be friendly, respectful, and conscious of the contact’s time constraints. Confirm your contact’s available time and the topic you want to cover. If you have the opportunity to sit down with a contact in person, remember to make eye contact, smile, shake hands firmly, and exchange business cards. Ask thoughtful questions and listen carefully to the answers.
If you are meeting over coffee or a meal, when the check comes, simply say to your contact, “I invited you here today, so this is my treat.” This, combined with a handwritten thank-you note, will make the best possible impression and leave the door open for future follow-up—which you should do, of course! If your contact gave you any advice or suggested a course of action, touch base every few months with an update on your progress. And since effective networking always involves give and take, think about ways you can help your contact in return.
Look for Contacts Everywhere

Take One Step at a Time
Know that it takes time to authentically populate your network. But also know that each new contact is a step in the right direction. When I first got into educating people on twentysomething workplace issues, it was startling how helpful I found just one meeting of the Chicago chapter of the American Society for Training and Development.

Be Strategic
Before going to such an event, think about what you hope to get out of attending. Is it general knowledge? Is it a new contact in your field?

Be Personable

Follow Up and Return the Favor
If you are meeting over coffee or a meal, when the check comes, simply say to your contact, “I invited you here today, so this is my treat.” This, combined with a handwritten thank-you note, will make the best possible impression and leave the door open for future follow-up—which you should do, of course!

Attitude Towards Work
Our life today is the result of our attitudes and choices in the past. Our life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and choices today!
This is a story of an elderly carpenter who had been working for a contractor for many many years. He had built many beautiful houses but now as he was getting old, he wanted to retire and lead a leisurely life with his family. So, he goes to the contractor and tells him about his plan of retiring. The contractor feels sad at the prospect of losing a good worker but agrees to the plan because the carpenter had indeed become too fragile for the tough building work. But as a last request, he asks the old carpenter to construct just one last house.
The old man agrees and starts working but his heart was not in his work any more. He had lost the motivation towards work. So, he resorted to shoddy workmanship and constructed the house half-hearted. After the house was built, the contractor handed over the front door keys to the carpenter and said, This is your new house. My gift to you. The carpenter was shocked and upset. Had he known that he was building his own house, he would have done a better job! Now, he would have to live in the house, which is not worth staying.
Think of ourself as the carpenter. We work hard every day but are we giving our best? We put our least to the work we don’t like or do not have interest in. Later, we get shocked at the situation we have created for ourselves and try to figure out why we didn’t do it differently.
Enjoy our tasks and carry on our responsibilities with pleasure and not with pain. Life is a DIY project. Do our job enthusiastically and with devotion, a positive output and a pleasing life will certainly be on our way.
