personally i think 100 dives to qualify to take the ie is an appallinly low number - and unfortunately its all too easy to come accross these zero to hero's working in the dive industry in Asia. I am sure that some are "good" but most seem to have little or no real world diving skills.
BTW, leading people round the same half dozen dive sites for 50 dives during the internship isn't learning how to cope properly underwater
