The instructor took a rather drab set of topics and brought them to life with realistic real-life examples.

Tom Berndt

The training was impressive. I am not a fan of online training but this was put together very well. I would recommend Lion to others.

The instructor was very patient and engaging - willing to answer and help explain subject matter.

Misty Filipp

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!

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