Our Story
The Skido Spirit
Skido School of Phlebotomy was not founded just to teach a skill; it was founded to continue a legacy. Named after my grandfather, Skido, our school is built on his core values: Love, Kindness, and the Art of Handling.
In healthcare, a patient isn’t just a “blood draw”—they are a person who deserves to be handled with dignity and compassion. We believe that true phlebotomy is an art form. We are here to help you grow into a practitioner who is as skilled with the needle as they are with the human spirit.
Why Choose Skido? (The 3-Month Difference)
Most schools offer “weekend wonders”—2-day courses that leave you with a certificate but no confidence. At Skido, we do things differently. We fill the gap between “knowing” and “doing.”
Our Signature 3-Month Program
We provide a Level 3 Phlebotomy & Clinical Diagnostic Skills qualification structured for real-world success:
The Foundation (3 Days Intensive Theory): Dive deep into anatomy, physiology, and the “Skido Method” of patient-centered care. You will learn the science, the safety, and the art of empathy.
The Clinical Residency (The Remaining Weeks): While others stop at the classroom, we begin. You will spend the rest of your three months in a Clinical Practical Placement, gaining the hands-on experience and live blood draws you need to be job-ready on day one.

Whether you are starting from scratch or looking to specialize, Skido is your home for growth.
