I have been to other training companies, but Lion’s material is much better and easier to understand.

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.

Kimberly Arnao

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!

Excellent job. Made what is very dry material interesting. Thoroughly explained all topics in easy-to-understand terms.

More thorough than a class I attended last year through another company.
