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.

I was able to present my scenario to the instructor and worked thru the regulations together. In the past, I attended another training firm's classes. Now, I have no intention of leaving Lion!

Lion courses always set the bar for content, reference, and practical application. Membership and access to the experts is an added bonus.
