Diploma Santé

What Diploma Santé does

Diploma Santé is a private higher-education preparatory school founded in 2014 and headquartered in Paris, operating as a French SAS with €1,000 declared share capital and founder Benjamin Haddad (former PACES major) as principal. The business specializes in structured preparation for France's highly selective first-year health studies (PASS, LAS, LSPS) and medical admissions (MMOPK: Médecine, Maïeutique, Odontologie, Pharmacie, Kinésithérapie), serving predominantly Île-de-France prospective students targeting six partner universities (Paris Cité, UPEC, Paris-Saclay, Sorbonne Paris Nord, Sorbonne Université, UVSQ). The offering has expanded into a six-program portfolio spanning lycée (Première Élite, Terminale Santé), P0 bridge (PAES FR/EU with European medical-school preparation), and the three core university-year tracks (PASS, LAS, LSPS), with PASS being the flagship.

Delivery combines physical and digital infrastructure: three Paris campuses totaling more than 1,000 m² (Quai de la Rapée 75012, Ledru-Rollin 75012, Lauriston 75116) operating 7 days/week, 07:00 to midnight; a proprietary H24 e-learning platform developed by Lyon-based Xevlabs that hosts faculty-specific video replays, QCM question banks, teacher Q&A, and performance dashboards; and embedded individual coaching via the Hermione Médecine program. Teaching is conducted exclusively by agrégés, university professors, and normaliens — distinguishing the model from competitors that deploy senior students as instructors. Annual flagship programs comprise 204 hours of taught coursework and 74 hours of evaluations (278 hours total); base pricing starts at €7,990 for 2026-2027.

The business model is direct-to-consumer B2C with a consultative inside-sales motion (phone, email, individual interviews) feeding from SEO-driven organic traffic and word-of-mouth referrals. Revenue is anchored by annual tuition at €7,990+ per student per program, with the Éudiant Solidaire financial-aid program modulating effective unit economics for meritorious but cash-constrained applicants. The company operates with approximately 16 employees, no disclosed institutional funding, and reports student outcomes such as a 78% medicine admission rate versus a 29.6% national non-prep pass rate.

Broad incumbents

• Complétude: Major French tutoring network providing in-home and center-based academic support from primary through prépa levels. Adjacent competitor for student tutoring spend, though without focused PASS/LAS specialization.
• Acadomia: Large incumbent French tutoring and academic-support provider offering in-home and small-group tutoring across many subjects, including soutien scolaire and exam prep. Competes with Diploma Santé for tutoring budget but at much broader scale and without the PASS/LAS specialization.
• Anacours: Established French tutoring company providing soutien scolaire and exam-prep services across multiple subjects and grade levels. Competes with Diploma Santé for academic-support wallet share without specializing in PASS/LAS prep.

Direct peers

• Cours Thalès: French prépa offering medical school preparation alongside engineering and business-school prep, with similar in-person + digital delivery model. Overlaps with Diploma Santé on the PASS/LAS student segment while also serving adjacent competitive exam markets.

• SupSanté: Established French prépa médecine serving PASS/LAS candidates with faculty-specific preparation programs and agrégé teaching staff. Directly competes for the same Paris / Île-de-France student pool across comparable price points.
• Prépa Médecine Supérieur: French prépa médecine specializing in PASS / LAS / P0 preparation with annual tuition programs, agrégé teaching, and mock-exam infrastructure. Competes directly for the same Paris-bound medical aspirants.
