Inventory Control Specialist

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.

Given the choice, I would do all coursework this way. In-person courses go very fast without the opportunity to pause or repeat anything.

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

Lion's training was by far the best online RCRA training I've ever taken. It was challenging and the layout was great!

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!
