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

I have over 26 years of environmental compliance experience, and it has been some time since I have attended an environmental regulations workshop. I attended this course as preparation for EHS Audits for my six plants, and it was exactly what I was looking for.

Frank Sizemore

Director of Regulatory Affairs

Attending Lion Technology classes should be mandatory for every facility that ships or stores hazmat.

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

I have been to other training companies, but Lion’s material is much better and easier to understand.

Mark Abell

Regional Manager

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

HSE Coordinator

Lion was very extensive. There was a lot of things that were covered that were actually pertaining to what I do and work with. Great Job. I will be coming back in three years!

Lion's online training is more comprehensive, has better slides, and is a superior training experience than what I would get from other trainers.
