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

I have over 26 years of environmental compliance experience, and it has been some time since I have attended an environmental regulations workshop. I attended this course as preparation for EHS Audits for my six plants, and it was exactly what I was looking for.

Frank Sizemore

Director of Regulatory Affairs

We have a very busy work schedule and using Lion enables us to take the course at our own time. It makes it easy for me to schedule my employees' training.

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

Very witty instructor, made the long times sitting bearable. One of the few training courses I can say I actually enjoyed.
