One graduate, Joseph Cabral (retired Pump Station Foreman, City of Waterbury Water Department), writes that when he found IMTI it was offering weekend courses to prepare students for the state plumbing exam, and that "the quality of the coursework, the structure of the program and the guidance of the experienced instructors" helped him pass the next time he took it.
