Most notably, it trains top-tiered civil servants i preparation for careers in the most auspicious ranks of the French administration. Some of these include the “Cour des Comptes” (Court of Auditors), the “Conseil d’Etat” (State Council), the Inspectorates (General Inspectorates for Finance, for Administration and Social Affairs), along with the diplomatic, prefectoral and overseas trade promotion services. ENA also provides training courses for civil administrators and counselors, to be utilized as administrators for the City of Paris and in regional courts of auditors and administrative tribunals.

It was once located in Paris, but it has been nearly relocated in completion to Strasbourg, furthering drawing attention to its strong European character. It is now located at the Commanderie Saint-Jean, which was once a 14th-century former barracks and a prison.

There are two major student associations at ENA. The Commanderie Saint-Jean organizes a full calendar of cultural and leisure events. The Bureau des Elèves (BDE) also sets up cultural and leisure activities, along with sporting events.
