Graduates of the IET program are awarded certificates to testify that they have passed the four-month training program and the OSHA 40-HR Hazwoper Certificate. (When graduates search for employment in the environmental field, they usually include the fact they have undertaken such training by including a summary of the course in their resumes.)

Because only the graduates who have taken the course can judge its value, a list of selected graduates is presented as references.

The make-up of the class since the beginning is illustrated in the figure below. Of note is the decline in participation of those with geology degrees compared to the increase of those with engineering and other degrees. The cause of this trend cannot be established with certainty but probably has to do with the oil & gas company tendency to layoff exploration people first, which would primarily include geologists and geophysicists, followed by engineers related to production.

The following list of IET graduates confirms they have graduated from the IET program. NOTE: the addresses presented in the list were given at the time the student registered for the course; many of the graduates have moved to other cities to build their careers in the environmental and related fields.
