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

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

Francisco Gallardo

HES Technician

I had a positive experience utilizing this educational program. It was very informative, convenient, and rewarding from a career perspective.

John Gratacos

I really enjoyed this training. Even after years on both sides of the comprehension coin, I find myself still learning! The quality of the delivery exceeded much of the training I have received in the past.

Neil Ozonur

Safety Officer

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

The instructor was very knowledgeable and provided pertinent information above and beyond the questions that were asked.

This course went above my expectations from the moment I walked in the door. The instructor led us through two days packed with useful compliance information.

Rachel Stewart

Environmental Manager

The instructor was very engaging and helped less experienced people understand the concepts.

Lion's course was superior to others I have taken in the past. Very clear in the presentation and the examples helped to explain the content presented.

The instructor clearly enjoys his job and transmits that enthusiasm. He made a dry subject very interesting and fun.
