Very good. I have always appreciated the way Lion Tech develops, presents and provides training and materials.

John Troy

Very well structured, comprehensive, and comparable to live training seminars I've participated in previously. I will recommend the online course to other colleagues with training requirement needs.

The price was reasonable, the time to complete the course was manageable, and the flexibility the online training allowed made it easy to complete.

The instructor was probably the best I ever had! He made the class enjoyable, was humorous at times, and very knowledgeable.

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!
