I tried other environmental training providers, but they were all sub-standard compared to Lion. I will not stray from Lion again!

Sara Sills

Excellent. I learned more in two days with Lion than at a 5-day program I took with another provider.

Francisco Gallardo

HES Technician

The instructor was excellent. They knew all of the material without having to read from a notepad or computer.

Gary Hartzell

The instructor was very very informative, helpful, understandable and pleasant. This course answered many questions I had, being new to this industry.

Frances Mona

I love that the instructor emphasized the thought process behind the regs.

Rebecca Saxena

If I need thorough training or updating, I always use Lion. Lion is always the best in both instruction and materials.

Bryce Parker

My experience with Lion training, both online and in the classroom, is that they are far better organized and provide a better sequential explanation of the material.

Robert Roose

Manager, Dangerous Goods Transportation

One of the best trainings I have ever received!

Brandon Morfin

EH&S Manager

I was able to present my scenario to the instructor and worked thru the regulations together. In the past, I attended another training firm's classes. Now, I have no intention of leaving Lion!

Diana Joyner

Lion's training was by far the best online RCRA training I've ever taken. It was challenging and the layout was great!
