Please Note: Your state has detailed education, experience and application processing requirements to qualify for licensing in the Asbestos field. Most states administer their own asbestos programs, and each state’s Department of Environmental Protection/Health is generally the best place to start with questions about requirements and training. Students are responsible to verify these requirements prior to registering for a course. IET is accredited by the EPA and maintains a license in the state of Texas for all the classes offered.
IMPORTANT: You are required to bring your most current training certificate with you to the refresher course! Students who obtained their last training by IET do not need to bring the last certificate to the class.
