Lion was very responsive to my initial questions and the website was user friendly.

This training broke down the regulations in an easy-to-understand manner and made them less overwhelming. I now feel I have the knowledge to make more informed decisions.

Amanda Oswald

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!

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