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

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.

Rachel Stewart

The course was very informative and presented in a way that was easily understood and remembered. I would recommend this course.

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!
