I have attended other training providers, but Lion is best. Lion is king of the hazmat jungle!!!

I love that the instructor emphasized the thought process behind the regs.

Rebecca Saxena

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!

Donna Moot

I used the IT support number available and my issue was resolved within a few minutes. I don't see anything that could have made it better.

Danny Province

One of the best trainings I have ever received!

Brandon Morfin

EH&S Manager

I really enjoyed this training. Even after years on both sides of the comprehension coin, I find myself still learning! The quality of the delivery exceeded much of the training I have received in the past.

Neil Ozonur

Safety Officer

Well designed and thorough program. Excellent summary of requirements with references. Inclusion of regulations in hard copy form, as well as full electronic with state pertinent regulations included is a great bonus!

Oscar Fisher

EHS Manager

Lion provided an excellent introduction to environmental regulations, making the transition to a new career as an EHS specialist less daunting of a task. Drinking from a fire hose when the flow of water is lessened, is much more enjoyable!

If I need thorough training or updating, I always use Lion. Lion is always the best in both instruction and materials.

Attending Lion Technology classes should be mandatory for every facility that ships or stores hazmat.
