The instructor does a great job at presenting material in an approachable way. I have been able to save my company about $30,000 in the last year with what I have learned from Lion!

Curtis Ahonen

EHS&S Manager

Robert Roose

Manager, Dangerous Goods Transportation

Oscar Fisher

Mary Sue Michon

Environmental Administrator

Lori Hardy

Process & Resource Administrator
