Centre for Homeopathic Education

What Centre for Homeopathic Education does

Centre for Homeopathic Education (CHE), operating through CHE Health and Wellbeing Ltd, is a UK-based for-profit college that delivers accredited homeopathy education through classroom and online channels. Founded in 1996 and headquartered in London at 100 Fenchurch Street, CHE offers a tiered curriculum spanning a free Home Prescriber Course, a two-day Beginners Course, a one-year Foundation Course priced at £1,675, and professional Licentiate programmes — a 4-year part-time Practitioner Course and a 2-year full-time Fast Track Practitioner Course — both leading to the Licentiate in Homeopathy (LCHE) qualification. The institution also runs Postgraduate/CPD programmes for qualified homeopaths and operates a low-cost student clinic that provides supervised clinical practice and revenue from patient services. Founder and Principal Marcus Fernandez has authored a consumer-facing guide, "Homeopathy at Home," extending the brand into retail publishing.

The underlying technology is a standard online learning stack: courses are delivered via Kajabi and Thinkific, payments processed through Stripe and PayPal, marketing automation handled by ActiveCampaign and ConvertFlow, and finance managed in Xero. Distribution runs through two channels — in-person lectures at the London campus and a self-serve online platform at cheonline.co.uk — with international reach supported by an overseas branch operation (CHE Poland). However, CHE cannot sponsor visas for overseas students attending classroom courses, which constrains in-person international growth.

Revenue is generated primarily from course tuition fees (paid as lump sums or monthly instalments) and clinic services, with a freemium entry point (the free Home Prescriber Course) feeding prospective students into paid programmes. The business is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds and operates through three wholly-owned subsidiaries (CHE Online Ltd, CHE London Ltd, CHE Pro Ltd). Headcount is in the 11–50 range, consistent with a small specialist college, and revenue is not publicly disclosed. Customer segments are individuals: aspiring professional homeopaths (primary), beginners and hobbyists, and qualified practitioners seeking CPD.
