Lion's training was by far the best online RCRA training I've ever taken. It was challenging and the layout was great!

The instructor was excellent. They knew all of the material without having to read from a notepad or computer.

Having the tutorial buttons for additional information was extremely beneficial.

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

The instructor clearly enjoys his job and transmits that enthusiasm. He made a dry subject very interesting and fun.
