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!

Diana Joyner

Senior Environmental Engineer

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

Tom Berndt

HSE Coordinator

This was the 1st instructor that has made the topic actually enjoyable and easy to follow and understand. Far better than the "other" training providers our company has attended!

Lori Hardy

Process & Resource Administrator

The instructor was very very informative, helpful, understandable and pleasant. This course answered many questions I had, being new to this industry.

Frances Mona

You blew the doors off the competition!

Stephen Bieschke

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.

Donnie James

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

Rebecca Saxena

Lion was very responsive to my initial questions and the website was user friendly.

Michael Britt

Having the tutorial buttons for additional information was extremely beneficial.

Sharon Ziemek

EHS Manager

I tried other environmental training providers, but they were all sub-standard compared to Lion. I will not stray from Lion again!
