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

Stephanie Gilliam

Amazing instructor; real-life examples. Lion training gets better every year!

Frank Papandrea

I like Lion's workshops the best because they really dig into the information you need to have when you leave the workshop.

Lion does a great job summarizing and communicating complicated EH&S-related regulations.

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!
