This training provides a comprehensive introduction to National Park Service (NPS) Search and Rescue (SAR) operations, including key terminology, policy, and practices for SAR team operations. The target audience for the content is NPS employees, NPS Volunteers-in-Parks, and NPS Partner Organizations that assist in carrying out SAR operations, or anyone interested in learning more about NPS Emergency Services and SAR. 

NPS Introduction to SAR Operations is the prerequisite for an on-site, skills-based training held at the learner’s home park/unit (known as "SAR Days"). By completing this training, you will fulfill one requirement to being certified as a SAR Technician Type 2 on the NPS All Hazard card; SAR Tech Type 2 certification qualifies people to actively participate in NPS SAR operations.

NOTE: Only the public (non-employees who do not have (or will not have) PIV access) can complete this training on eDOIU; any employee with PIV access must complete the course on DOITalent, the DOI learning management system of record.

Departmental policy and section 412.202 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations require all supervisors to receive and complete supervisory refresher training every three years of their career as a supervisor.  This certification has been assigned to you as a supervisor of record in the Department who is required to complete supervisory refresher training. 

To meet this requirement you will need to create a supervisory IDP to track your progress towards your supervisory development goal.   

This course is a self certification for the creation of a supervisory Refresher IDP. This course will be a part of the Supervisory Refresher certification and when a user creates and completes a supervisory IDP the user will mark this complete.

This is the fundamental small UAS course for individuals wanting to become qualified to operate small UAS for the Department of the Interior (DOI)/US Department of Agriculture's Forest Service (USDA-FS). A-450 will utilize small UAS aircraft (less than 55lbs) to provide the basic academic and flight training necessary to conduct missions as Remote Pilot-in-Command (RPIC) for DOI/FS.

Candidates must be nominated by National UAS Program Managers or designee.

Students should meet the prerequisite requirements prior to attending A-450. Some required IAT courses may not be available prior to A-450 training selection, but UAS pilots must complete all IAT training requirements within 6 months of A-450 selection.

Note: For further information, contact your DOI National Aviation Manager or USFS Regional UAS Specialist for guidance regarding how to begin a UAS program.

This course provides mandatory training required for all DOI managers and supervisors who are responsible for administering oversight of programs that utilize aviation personnel and resources, both manned and unmanned (UAS/Unmanned Aircraft Systems), to accomplish missions and flight activities.
