Best instructor ever! I was going to take my DOT training w/a different provider, but based on this presentation, I will also be doing my DOT training w/Lion!

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.

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

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

Lion was very extensive. There was a lot of things that were covered that were actually pertaining to what I do and work with. Great Job. I will be coming back in three years!

I have been to other training companies, but Lion’s material is much better and easier to understand.

Well designed and thorough program. Excellent summary of requirements with references. Inclusion of regulations in hard copy form, as well as full electronic with state pertinent regulations included is a great bonus!

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