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!

Curtis Ahonen

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

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

Paul Harbison

The course was very well structured and covered the material in a clear, concise manner.

Excellent course. Very interactive. Explanations are great whether you get the questions wrong or right.

Gregory Thompson

The instructor created a great learning environment.

Avinash Thummadi

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!

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