Lion - Quotes

My experience with Lion classes has always been good. Lion Technology always covers the EPA requirements I must follow.

Steven Erlandson

Lion courses are the standard to which all other workshops should strive for!

Brody Saleen

Lion provided an excellent introduction to environmental regulations, making the transition to a new career as an EHS specialist less daunting of a task. Drinking from a fire hose when the flow of water is lessened, is much more enjoyable!

Stephanie Weathers

The instructor kept the class engaged and made learning fun. There was a lot of information to cover but time flew by. I will definitely use Lion in the future!

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

Tom Berndt

The course is well thought out and organized in a way that leads to a clearer understanding of the total training.
