Park Ranger Training Program

Welcome

to the NAU, Parks and Recreation Management (PRM) Seasonal Park Ranger Training Program (SLETP). The Park Ranger Training Program is now offered twice a year. The fall PRTP is ten (10) weeks long (classes meet five days a week, all day). The spring PRTP is a thirteen (13) week program (classes meet Monday through Friday afternoons and on every other weekend).

PRTP programs have a credit and non-credit option.

Upon successful completion of the PRTP program, students receive a seasonal law enforcement "Certificate of Completion" that is recognized by the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and various state park systems.

Class size is limited to twenty-four students. Contact Kathy Eissinger for more information.

“If a trail is to be blazed, send a ranger, if an animal is floundering in the snow, send a ranger, if a bear is in a hotel, send a ranger, if a fire threatens a forest, send a ranger, and if someone needs to be saved, send a ranger.”

Stephen T. Mather, First Director of the National Park Service

Video Conferencing is available for students with a web camera. Contact Kathy Eissinger for more details.
