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.

Lion was very responsive to my initial questions and the website was user friendly.

I like Lion's workshops the best because they really dig into the information you need to have when you leave the workshop.
