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

Lion's online training is more comprehensive, has better slides, and is a superior training experience than what I would get from other trainers.

Lion is at the top of the industry in compliance training. Course content and structure are updated frequently to make annual re-training enjoyable. I like that Lion has experts that I can contact for 1 year after the training.

Attending Lion Technology classes should be mandatory for every facility that ships or stores hazmat.
