Dawn Swofford

EHS Technician

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!

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

Troy Yonkers

Very good. I have always appreciated the way Lion Tech develops, presents and provides training and materials.

John Troy

Our instructor was very dynamic and kept everyone's interest. Hazmat shipping can be a dry, complicated topic but I was engaged the entire time.

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.

You blew the doors off the competition!

Excellent. I learned more in two days with Lion than at a 5-day program I took with another provider.

Francisco Gallardo

Excellent class, super instructor, very easy to follow. No rushing through material. Would like to take his class again.

Lawrence Patterson

This course went above my expectations from the moment I walked in the door. The instructor led us through two days packed with useful compliance information.
