You blew the doors off the competition!

Stephen Bieschke

Facilities Manager

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.

Robert Roose

Manager, Dangerous Goods Transportation

Lion provided an excellent introduction to environmental regulations, making the transition to a new career as an EHS specialist less daunting of a task. Drinking from a fire hose when the flow of water is lessened, is much more enjoyable!

Stephanie Weathers

Amazing instructor; real-life examples. Lion training gets better every year!

Frank Papandrea

The course was very informative and presented in a way that was easily understood and remembered. I would recommend this course.

This course went above my expectations from the moment I walked in the door. The instructor led us through two days packed with useful compliance information.

Rachel Stewart

Environmental Manager

The price was reasonable, the time to complete the course was manageable, and the flexibility the online training allowed made it easy to complete.

Felicia Rutledge

Hazmat Shipping Professional

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!

The instructor did an excellent job presenting a very dry subject; keeping everyone interested and making it enjoyable.

Lion's online training is more comprehensive, has better slides, and is a superior training experience than what I would get from other trainers.
