IHMM programs are administered by the Institute of Hazardous Materials Management (IHMM) located in Rockville, Maryland. Applications are completed by candidates online. The Institute reviews the application for eligibility and completeness. Those meeting the eligibility requirements (experience and academic) are then allowed to proceed to the examination. Those who pass the examination are notified by IHMM and then IHMM issues a certificate to the candidate. The Institute's Executive Office is the office of record for all active certificants' documents, eligibility information, examination results, and official correspondence, as well as contact and financial data.
