International Participants: Enrollment in resident courses taught in Monterey is based upon official requests initiated through the in-country US security assistance agency - MAAG, MilGroup, ODC, SAO, DAO, or the like. All resident courses are presented in English. International participants must achieve an ECL score of 80.

Official requests for international mobile courses should be made as far in advance as possible. This allows adequate time for any required translations and the coordination of logistical requirements. The annual Security Cooperation Education and Training Working Groups (SCETWGs) offer a forum for initial requests and planning. For additional information regarding the programming of a mobile course, please contact our International Programs Coordinator at (831) 656-2017 or e-mail acpolley@nps.edu.
