Excellent. I learned more in two days with Lion than at a 5-day program I took with another provider.

Francisco Gallardo

HES Technician

I have over 26 years of environmental compliance experience, and it has been some time since I have attended an environmental regulations workshop. I attended this course as preparation for EHS Audits for my six plants, and it was exactly what I was looking for.

Frank Sizemore

Director of Regulatory Affairs

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

As always, Lion never disappoints

Paul Resley

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

I can't say enough how pleased I was with this course! Everything finally makes sense.

Kim Graham

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!
