The CMA CGM Brazil became the largest ship ever to dock on the East Coast of the United States when it entered the port of New York & New Jersey last week. At 366 meters (1,200 feet), the vessel is about as long as eight Statues of Liberty and has a capacity of 15,072 TEU.

I attended training from another provider and learned absolutely nothing. Lion is much better. Hands down.

The exercises in the DOT hazardous materials management course are especially helpful in evaluating your understanding of course information.

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

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

EHS Manager

Very well structured, comprehensive, and comparable to live training seminars I've participated in previously. I will recommend the online course to other colleagues with training requirement needs.

Energetic/enthusiastic! Made training enjoyable, understandable and fun!

Given the choice, I would do all coursework this way. In-person courses go very fast without the opportunity to pause or repeat anything.

Ellen Pelton

Chemical Laboratory Manager

Our instructor was very dynamic and kept everyone's interest. Hazmat shipping can be a dry, complicated topic but I was engaged the entire time.

Kimberly Arnao

Senior Director of EH&S

The online course was well thought out and organized, with good interaction between the student and the course.

Larry Ybarra

Best instructor ever! I was going to take my DOT training w/a different provider, but based on this presentation, I will also be doing my DOT training w/Lion!
