Novetude Santé

Novetude Santé is a private higher education group specializing in training for healthcare professions. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Clichy, France, the company operates as a key player in the European healthcare education market. The group offers a wide range of programs including preparatory classes for medical exams, degree courses in fields like osteopathy, and continuing professional development for nurses, dentist assistants, and pharmacists. Its business model is centered on providing accredited training through its network of schools across France and Spain, catering to both new students and practicing healthcare professionals. Novetude Santé has pursued a consistent growth strategy through numerous acquisitions, incorporating various specialized training schools to expand its offerings and market presence. This buy-and-build strategy has been supported by private equity firms, including an investment from Charterhouse Capital Partners in November 2020. More recently, in May 2025, Peugeot Invest partnered with Charterhouse to further accelerate the group's development into a leading pan-European healthcare education platform.

The group operates over 40 training centers and schools, educating more than 18,000 students in initial training and over 55,000 professionals in continuing education annually. Novetude Santé became a mission-led company ("entreprise à mission") in 2023 and achieved B Corp certification in 2024, reflecting its commitment to social and environmental standards. The company's expansion is driven by the increasing demand for paramedical professionals due to factors like an aging population across Europe.
