Very good. I have always appreciated the way Lion Tech develops, presents and provides training and materials.

John Troy

Environmental Specialist

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

I can't say enough how pleased I was with this course! Everything finally makes sense.

Kim Graham

The instructor was very patient and engaging - willing to answer and help explain subject matter.

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

Very witty instructor, made the long times sitting bearable. One of the few training courses I can say I actually enjoyed.

Lion is easily and consistently the best option for compliance training. I've learned new information from every instructor I've had.
