Lion is easily and consistently the best option for compliance training. I've learned new information from every instructor I've had.

Lion courses are the standard to which all other workshops should strive for!

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

I used the IT support number available and my issue was resolved within a few minutes. I don't see anything that could have made it better.

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

I really enjoyed this training. Even after years on both sides of the comprehension coin, I find myself still learning! The quality of the delivery exceeded much of the training I have received in the past.

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!
