Welcome to the Office of the National Training Center
The National Training Center (NTC) was initially
created to enhance and standardize the capabilities
of contractor protective forces assigned to protect
vital assets under the care of the Department of Energy
(DOE). The NTC has developed, implemented, and maintained
vital training programs for DOE Safeguards and Security
elements since 1984. During its history, the NTC ~under
various titles~ has become nationally recognized for
its training programs and services.
Located in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Kirtland AFB,
the mission of the NTC is to provide DOE Safety and
Security personnel with quality training in support
of professional development. The NTC will effectively
and efficiently develop, deliver, and evaluate DOE
Safety and Security training. The NTC will continue
to focus on identifying and meeting the Department's
training needs and forming partnerships to improve
its operational effectiveness.
