Training built on work we have actually delivered.

Solchem is an indigenous Nigerian engineering company with decades of pipeline, fabrication, inspection and HSE delivery. We now facilitate structured engineering and HSE training programmes that prepare professionals for recognised certification pathways.

Professional retraining, skill acquisition and HSE training have long formed part of Solchem’s human-capital development work. Our training programmes formalise that activity into structured cohorts with defined eligibility, assessment and outcomes.

Engineering foundation

Procedure-driven engineering, applied to the classroom and the workshop.

Technical capability

Core engineering disciplines

Each discipline below is an operating capability of Solchem, and each one informs the technical content of our training programmes.

Chemical and process engineering support

Support to process plant operations — process pipework, static equipment, heat exchangers, distillation and separation systems in refining, petrochemical and chemical service.

Corrosion, materials and chemical integrity

Assessment of corrosion and materials behaviour — chemical attack, sour service, high-temperature and environmental damage mechanisms affecting fixed equipment.

Chemical hazard and process safety management

Control of chemical, physical and environmental agents on site — hazardous substance handling, exposure control, spill response and permit-to-work discipline.

Pipeline fabrication and welding

Fabrication and welding of pipeline systems, spools and associated steelwork to written procedure.

Tank construction and rehabilitation

Construction, repair and rehabilitation of storage tanks and associated structures.

EPC services

Engineering, procurement and construction delivery across industrial scopes.

How facilitation works

Solchem prepares candidates. Certifying bodies award certification.

We are a training facilitator. We design and deliver preparation, and we administer candidate selection with the same discipline we apply on engineering projects. Certification itself is awarded independently.

Solchem facilitates training and preparation. Certification is awarded by the relevant
independent certifying or examination body. Completing a programme does not
guarantee certification.

Training programmes

Programmes currently open and opening soon

Every programme publishes its scope, dates, eligibility requirements and certification pathway before applications open.

Why Solchem

Six reasons professionals train with us

01

Practical engineering context

Training content is grounded in work Solchem has
actually delivered — pipeline welding, fabrication,
inspection, commissioning and civil construction.

02

Technical instructors and facilitators

Programmes are facilitated by serving engineering
and HSE personnel rather than by generalist trainers.

03

Structured programme administration

Applications, eligibility review, decisions and communication run through one controlled workflow.

04

Certification-aligned preparation

Content is organised around the requirements of the
relevant certifying or examination body.

05

Candidate assessment and support

Eligibility is reviewed by a person, and readiness is
assessed before candidates are presented for
examination.

06

HSE and quality discipline

The safety and quality discipline applied on Solchem projects is applied in the training environment.

Collaborating training partners

Programmes delivered in collaboration with API and ISPON

Every programme publishes its scope, dates, eligibility requirements and certification pathway before applications open.

Trainee testimonials

What past trainees say about training with Solchem

Feedback submitted by professionals who completed our API 1169 pipeline inspection preparatory cohorts. Each entry links to the trainee’s recorded video testimonial.

I liked the fact that the trainers were so sound and explicit about the course delivery. I really did learn a lot, which is helping me to prepare well for the forthcoming API 1169 examination. The training is for serious minds, just as our facilitator is serious and timely in delivering the training.

Awarah Clinton Douye

API 1169 Examination Preparatory Training

The curriculum thoroughly covered the API 1169 Body of Knowledge. The structured breakdown of topics made the material easy to retain. The facilitators at Solchem demonstrated exceptional command of the subject, explaining intricate codes and standards in an engaging manner that greatly boosted confidence heading into the examination.

Emmanuel Okure Okure

API 1169 Examination Preparatory Training

I was able to gain a more in-depth knowledge of pipeline inspection. The facilitators at Solchem are well-groomed in the field, and I learnt a lot from them. In my opinion, they are one of the best facilitators we have in the country.

Joel Reuben Effiom

API 1169 Examination Preparatory Training

Experienced instructors and a structured approach throughout the programme.

Peter Afahaeme Ikara

API 1169 Examination Preparatory Training

A highly valuable and well-structured programme. The instructor was knowledgeable, engaging, and took time to explain concepts clearly. I commend the facilitators for their professionalism, patience, and commitment to ensuring every participant understood the course content.

Engr. Kess Borlokor

API 1169 Examination Preparatory Training

Indeed a well-structured programme. The instructors were engaging, and I learnt so much from them. I also appreciated the high level of interaction amongst us, the students, and the group learning structure that the trainers built in us.
