OSM Training Initiatives

National Technical Training Program (NTTP) and Technical Innovation and Professional Services (TIPS) are Office of Surface Mining (OSM) Training Programs.

We collaborate on common training issues and incentives; share representatives on each other’s respective Steering Committees; coordinate course pre-requisites to best serve one another’s classes; and share resources to address such issues as instructor succession planning.

We use the Department of the Interior Learning Management System ~ DOI Learn ~ educating OSM employees, and state and tribal training contacts on how to register students for NTTP and TIPS classes. 

Please see TIPS 2008 Class Schedule (PDF) to obtain more information about TIPS training classes.

Please see NTTP 2008 Instructor-Led Classes Page to obtain more information about NTTP training classes.
