Lion's course was superior to others I have taken in the past. Very clear in the presentation and the examples helped to explain the content presented.

The instructor made the class very enjoyable and catered to the needs of our group.

I have attended other training providers, but Lion is best. Lion is king of the hazmat jungle!!!

Henry Watkins

Hazardous Waste Technician

Best instructor ever! I was going to take my DOT training w/a different provider, but based on this presentation, I will also be doing my DOT training w/Lion!

Donna Moot

Hazardous Waste 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!

Diana Joyner

Convenient; I can train when I want, where I want.

Barry Cook

Hazmat Shipping Professional

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.

Danny Province

EHS Professional

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

Ellen Pelton

Chemical Laboratory Manager

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

Troy Yonkers

HSES Representative

Excellent class, super instructor, very easy to follow. No rushing through material. Would like to take his class again.
