Mission u establishes recertification requirements for second-year study leaders to help them prepare to lead this study. Because second-year study leaders have already attended training the prior year, they will re-certify by completing the reading requirements and the recertification online course. Attendance at onsite Mission u training will not be needed and will not be offered onsite at either of the two Mission u Leader Training events for this particular study.
