Lion is my preferred trainer for hazmat and DOT.

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

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

Gary Hartzell

Amazing instructor; real-life examples. Lion training gets better every year!

Frank Papandrea

Excellent course. Very interactive. Explanations are great whether you get the questions wrong or right.

Gregory Thompson

Lion courses always set the bar for content, reference, and practical application. Membership and access to the experts is an added bonus.

John Brown, CSP

Much better than my previous class with another company. The Lion instructor made sense, kept me awake and made me laugh!

Marti Severs

Very witty instructor, made the long times sitting bearable. One of the few training courses I can say I actually enjoyed.

Lion is easily and consistently the best option for compliance training. I've learned new information from every instructor I've had.

Rachel Mathis

EHS Specialist

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.
