Naval Nuclear Power Training Command
Introduction


The **Naval Nuclear Power Training Command (NNPTC)** is a program element of the [Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program](/wiki/Naval_Nuclear_Propulsion_Program "Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program") and is responsible for educating enlisted and commissioned personnel of the US nuclear naval program. NNPTC's mission is to train officer and enlisted students in science and engineering fundamental to the design, operation, and maintenance of naval nuclear propulsion plants. NNPTC houses Nuclear Field "A" School and [Naval Nuclear Power School](/wiki/Naval_Nuclear_Power_School "Naval Nuclear Power School"). These two schools were formerly independent entities run by separate commanding officers and structures. NNPTC was created in 1993 to streamline the command structures of both schools, with each school ultimately reporting to a single commanding officer of NNPTC.


Can individuals without a background in science or engineering still be trained at the NNPTC?
