What ISOGM does

ISOGM (Institut Supérieur d'Ostéopathie du Grand Montpellier), founded in 1996, is a private higher education institution located in Béziers, Occitanie, France, specializing in osteopathy training. It operates a 2,500m2 campus equipped with 10 course and practice rooms, a 100-seat amphitheater, and an internal clinic with 10 consultation rooms where final-year students perform free consultations under qualified supervision. The institution holds French Ministry of Health agrément and its diploma is registered at RNCP Level 7 (Master's level) by France Compétences, making its graduates eligible to practice as liberal osteopaths in France. Additional quality certifications include Bureau Veritas Excellence (under COFRAC oversight) and Qualiopi.

The core product is a five-year in-person osteopathy training program offered to three customer segments: post-baccalaureate students seeking a professional degree, healthcare professionals (physiotherapists, midwives, nurses, podologists) seeking osteopathy certification, and practicing osteopaths pursuing post-graduate continuing education. Specialized programs include a Franco-American sports osteopathy track developed with American university partners and an animal osteopathy track delivered through partnership with ISMOA. International exchange partnerships exist with A.T. Still University in Kirksville, Missouri (the birthplace of osteopathy) and IFBO in the UK. External clinical placements are arranged with regional sports clubs, enterprises, and healthcare facilities.

ISOGM generates revenue primarily through recurring annual tuition fees across multi-year programs, supplemented by post-graduate course fees. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, relying on open house events (Matinées Portes Ouvertes), school visits, direct website inquiries, and social media channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook) to attract prospective students. The institution operates as an independent private teaching establishment with no disclosed external ownership, venture capital backing, or parent company control. No revenue figures, funding rounds, or M&A activity are disclosed in the available data.
