The firm holds Qualiopi certification (renewed March 15, 2024), making its courses eligible for French professional development reimbursement via FIFPL and FAFPM. Revenue is generated primarily through per-course tuition (€170-€680 for individual modules, €2,550 for the DTH diploma), publication sales (books and medical journal distributed via Decitre.fr), and annual International Rencontres congress registrations. Go-to-market is sales-led via cedh.org self-enrollment and event-driven acquisition, with the 12th International Congress (Lisbon, May 2026) attracting 400 professionals from 23 nationalities and achieving 98.9% global satisfaction.
