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

The workshop covered a lot of information without being too overwhelming. Lion is much better, more comprehensive than other training providers.

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!

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

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.

Lion was very extensive. There was a lot of things that were covered that were actually pertaining to what I do and work with. Great Job. I will be coming back in three years!

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