What is NPS Fundamentals?  

NPS Fundamentals is a five-part course of study that encompasses a broad understanding of the mission and goals of the National Park Service. It is designed to sustain a workforce committed to achieving the NPS mission.  

NPS Fundamentals focuses on the 8 Universal Competencies, which identify skills and knowledge critical to the success of every employee of the National Park Service. Because it is critical to ensuring the NPS legacy of preserving and protecting resources, every new Park Service employee should complete all five parts of the Fundamentals course. Experienced employees have found the training program very beneficial as well, and it is open to all NPS employees.

   
                   

"Our success as a bureau hinges on every employee understanding the mission of the NPS. Communication of that mission and our associated values are taught through the Fundamentals training program.

We are truly fortunate to have a talented and committed workforce, and we must continue to invest in their development.

Together we WILL make a difference for the better in the National Park Service!"

- Director Bomar
