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

I have been to other training companies, but Lion’s material is much better and easier to understand.

Mark Abell

Regional Manager

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

EHS&S Manager

I was recently offered an opportunity to take my training through another company, but I politely declined. I only attend Lion Technology workshops.

Lion's online training is more comprehensive, has better slides, and is a superior training experience than what I would get from other trainers.

Lion courses are the standard to which all other workshops should strive for!
