Will the content be different than previous MO-SECA training sessions?

MO-SECA designs sessions based on feedback from participants about where they want to dig in further. Some content is repeated from previous sessions; some include all new content.

Participants can earn clock hours for repeat sessions as long as they are completed in different calendar years.
