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!

The instructor was excellent. They knew all of the material without having to read from a notepad or computer.

Gary Hartzell

The instructor was very very informative, helpful, understandable and pleasant. This course answered many questions I had, being new to this industry.

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.

My experience with Lion training, both online and in the classroom, is that they are far better organized and provide a better sequential explanation of the material.

Robert Roose

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!

The workshop covered a lot of information without being too overwhelming. Lion is much better, more comprehensive than other training providers.
