Session Nine Training Schedule
The SECLA training schedule has been changed to incorporate on-line technology. The LEIC has worked closely with the University of Tennessee Chattanooga to convert two weeks of the SECLA curriculum to on-line. This change means that two weeks of lodging and classroom instruction have been eliminated and allow even more flexibility for our students and the organizations that represent them. Please keep in mind that our students must be given appropriate time to complete their on-line assignments.
