Meet Denise Castille | Chief Lifesaving Officer | Training Lead

We had the good fortune of connecting with Denise Castille and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Denise, we’d love for you to start things off by telling us something about your industry that we and others not in the industry might be unaware of?
One thing about the CPR training industry that outsiders are probably unaware of is the significant difference between online-only CPR classes and those that include hands-on practice and skills training. While online-only CPR classes may seem convenient, they lack the crucial hands-on practice necessary to effectively perform CPR in real-life situations.

If you take an online-only CPR class, it does not meet OSHA requirements and could leave you unprepared in an emergency. OSHA mandates that CPR training include hands-on skills practice to ensure that participants can perform CPR correctly and confidently. Without this practical component, the training is incomplete and insufficient.

At Any Day CPR Training, LLC, we emphasize the importance of hands-on practice in our courses. Our mobile services bring comprehensive CPR training to your location, ensuring that participants not only understand the theory but also gain the necessary practical experience to save lives effectively. Don’t be misled by the convenience of online-only courses; true preparedness requires hands-on training.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
There are many people who have played a crucial role in my journey, but there’s one person who stands out and deserves a special shoutout—my mom, known to everyone as Ms. Shirley. Her unwavering support, wisdom, and encouragement have been a constant source of strength for me. She has always been my biggest cheerleader and has instilled in me the values of hard work, compassion, and dedication.

Ms. Shirley’s belief in my abilities has been instrumental in my successes, and her influence continues to inspire me every day. She has not only been a wonderful mother but also a role model, showing me the importance of perseverance and kindness. I owe so much of my journey to her guidance and love. Huge shout out to my mom for being my rock and inspiration!
