The instructor took a rather drab set of topics and brought them to life with realistic real-life examples.

These are the best commercial course references I have seen (10+ years). Great job!

Energetic/enthusiastic! Made training enjoyable, understandable and fun!
Amanda Walsh

I tried other environmental training providers, but they were all sub-standard compared to Lion. I will not stray from Lion again!
Sara Sills
Environmental Specialist
Much better than my previous class with another company. The Lion instructor made sense, kept me awake and made me laugh!
Marti Severs
Enterprise Safety Manager
The instructor was very knowledgeable and provided pertinent information above and beyond the questions that were asked.
Johnny Barton
Logistics Coordinator
The instructor made the class very enjoyable and catered to the needs of our group.
Sarah Baker

The training was impressive. I am not a fan of online training but this was put together very well. I would recommend Lion to others.
Donnie James
Quality Manager
Lion's online training is more comprehensive, has better slides, and is a superior training experience than what I would get from other trainers.
Robert Brenner
District Environmental Manager
Very witty instructor, made the long times sitting bearable. One of the few training courses I can say I actually enjoyed.
