Session Twelve Training Schedule

The SECLA training schedule has been changed to incorporate online technology. The LEIC has worked closely with the University of Tennessee Chattanooga to convert two weeks of the SECLA curriculum to online format. This change means that two weeks of lodging and classroom instruction have been eliminated and allows 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 online assignments.
