Module 3 PRACTICALS
Module 3 is full of hands on Practical but there is a need to get a better and bigger screen frame and a Step by Step guide that will help the university student learn after watching the training. The practical requires more practice the guide will help.

Disappointed! The courses was recorded 3+ years ago!
I paid almost $200 for the course. It’s very disappointing because the course was recorded 3+ years ago!! Now ppl are using ai and they are teaching out dated lessons. It says you can email them for a refund in 30 days. I emailed them for it and no one ever replied my email for almost a week!
Please refund me.

The best thing about Niklas’ 1:1…
The best thing about Niklas’ 1:1 mentorship program was, without any doubt, Taylor Damster and Noah Pinder. They are both great people and always willing to help you with whatever you need or feel stuck on.
Taylor is in charge of the emails and is the person who provides support with anything you need. She was there for me when I needed it the most, and she helped me many times to solve urgent problems I had. I truly appreciate everything she did for me, and I only have very good things to say about her :)
When it comes to Noah, he is in charge of the Facebook group and answers all of your questions there in less than two days. I appreciate your effort and patience so much, Noah, so thank you for everything you do as part of Niklas’ team.
I also want to say that if Niklas is reading this, please give them both a raise! They are amazing and truly deserve it.
About the program in general: if you are a beginner, you can learn a lot from all the videos. I believe Instagram faceless pages have huge potential, but don’t expect to start making money very quickly because this takes time. If you are starting a page from zero, it could even take 1–2 years to monetize it. Because of that, I would only recommend this program to people who are very patient and willing to wait for results. When those results finally appear, trust me, it will all be worth it.
Thanks again, guys, for all the help.
Taylor and Noah, I will always remember you.
All the best,
Laura.

Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review, Laura 🙏
It truly means a lot to hear how supported you felt during your time in the mentorship. Taylor and Noah care deeply about helping members navigate challenges and keep moving forward, so your words will mean a great deal to them. We’re grateful to have people on the team who are genuinely committed to supporting the community.
We also appreciate your honest perspective about the journey itself. Building and monetizing a page takes time, patience, and consistent effort, and setting realistic expectations is an important part of doing this the right way.
Thank you again for being part of the program and for taking the time to share your experience so generously. Wishing you continued progress and success moving forward 🚀

Scam
Scam, high pressure sales tactics. says you need to pay 4000 euro and you wont make any money till the first 7-9 months. after i questioned certain things, he started being aggressive to pay before he went on further. Definitely a scammer as he could not show me value for money

Module review
The module covered a variety of topics and it was useful to hear how a successful young entrepreneur operates and learn from him. I would possibly have added a few Q&A segments to the module to make sure knowledge is being absorbed by attendees.

The IG University 4.0: A Must Have-Super complete…
The IG University 4.0 is super impressive. Niklas is a great teacher. I like his simple approach to everything, even in his appearance: you won't think this young fella is a multi-millionaire. Very mature for his age, super smart, give a lot of value in the course. The program covers everything, including the mindset, even the lifestyle of a millionaire. Just a must have which is to be reviewed regularly, especially the mindset and all the practical life aspects that comes with the journey to success but also, what to do when you have achieved it. Very, very complete. Love it and STROBLY recommend!

Worth so much more
This is a really great program. It pushed me to learn the stuff that made me stop trying earlier in business.
The lessons are short and directly to the point.
I've got more value from this than programs I've paid thousands for before.
Strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to start with Instagram.

Good value and helpful for beginners
Good value course with clear, beginner-friendly lessons on Instagram growth and monetization. The content is easy to follow and practical. Customer service could be faster, but overall a solid experience for the price.

Cuts through a lot of hype and confusion in the online marketing space and tells it like it is
I really enjoyed working through Niklas Pedde's Instagram University 4.0 course. I have a lot of hard work ahead of me, but that's how I know this is real and not just a bunch of fluff. The real-life case studies he provided helped too.

Rude and misleading
Just spoke to your head coach max in the zoom meeting I was told was to apply for 1-1 that would cost around £1000 and I could pay in instalments was going really well I missed heard something he said at the beginning of the call asking for an upfront payment of £3500 which is way more than what you stated before the call I then said you told me it would be a lot less than that and I could pay in instalments but I didn’t realise I would need to pay anything on the actual call he then proceeds to say “I can see now why you are broke” I find this extremely rude and I felt pressured to make a payment I didn’t have right that second he also said “we can set up a payment plan, but if you don’t pay us me and the company will sue you” that call is recorded and I hope you guys watch it that was appalling I was actually willing to join you guys and the community but if your taking after him as a head coach I don’t want to anymore
