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

I tried other environmental training providers, but they were all sub-standard compared to Lion. I will not stray from Lion again!

Sara Sills

This is a very informative training compared to others. It covers everything I expect to learn and even a lot of new things.

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.

I really enjoy your workshops. Thank you for such a great program and all the help Lion has provided me over the years!

George Chatman

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!

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

The instructor was probably the best I ever had! He made the class enjoyable, was humorous at times, and very knowledgeable.

Mary Sue Michon

The instructor took a rather drab set of topics and brought them to life with realistic real-life examples.

These are the best commercial course references I have seen (10+ years). Great job!
