How this company uses Trustpilot
See how their reviews and ratings are sourced, scored, and moderated.
Beware of their promises, especially the 1-1 mentorship they're selling with price nowhere to be seen. They drag you on a live Zoom call with the Head Coach as they say. The person is called Max Gmoser - stay away, all just deceit and lies as one reviewer said on here. He never mentions on the call that they have a no refund policy. I changed my mind 6 hours after the purchase, notified this Max Gmoser immediately, explained and apologized and that's when the party started. He called me to say that I signed a contract waiving my right to a refund. I never signed anything and he never mentioned this on the call or prior to payment. Now they refuse to refund me and their replies are nothing short of mockery. I said I don't even want to be part of the program after how they handled things and wabt to be removed and refunded. I filed a dispute with Paypal and my bank. After I informed them I cancelled my recurring payments they removed my access (although I paid half the price) and now I'm receiving emails that my payment failed and that their 3rd party payment processor Copecart will start a debt collection. What debt? These people are running a fishy business, all they care about is money, not humans.
I'm from the EU and contacted a lawyer as well. Know that as an EU citizen you have a right to a refund within 14 days of purchase. No tick-box with legal disclaimers is enough if you are not explicitly warned, especially when you're buying a service over a live Zoom call.
Don't deal with these people, they are dirty players playing dirty games. Especially this Max Gmoser guy. Beware.

I have only gotten about 20% through this training, so I can only comment on that portion. I think Niklas is quite amazing for someone so young. He teaches in a manner I can resonate with even though I'm much older. I appreciate the mindset training, I recognize how valuable it is to have the right mindset before doing the nuts & bolts of the program. I'm inspired to move forward. I would like more content on how to overcome limiting beliefs because at my age I feel quite "stuck" sometimes. I'm from a generation more fully immersed in the society view of how life should be led. I've worked very hard for a number of years and my income and my life keeps declining, not improving. I'm sure you've heard that often. I'm not in a position to join the coaching program, though that is my first goal to achieve. I know how powerful coaching can be, it provides focus, direction and more success than doing it all on my own. It would be nice to have a payment plan for the coaching (I don't remember if you do, or not). I need to replace my job within 6 months. So that too is a goal. Thanks for providing so much for so little! I'm here to make this WORK!!!

I think Module 3 is the most useful module so far. I definitely got more value than I paid for. I would give it 4,5 stars. The reason why not 5 stars is that some info seems a bit outdated. And also Niklas uses Photoshop and lots of explanations are in Photoshop and as a beginner I prefer Canva and CapCut (much easier user interface)

I’m very new to this business but I find Niklas very clear and concise, he’s extremely knowledgeable, warm and friendly.
The value for money is incredible!
The quality of the production in my mind is second to none.
The step by step approach is invaluable.
What can I tell you, this is the real deal.

This program is fantastic and delivers 1000 times more value than the price we pay. I've just finished the preparation and mindset module and discovered why I've been unable to get results in digital for a year. And the best part is that I know exactly what I have to do to correct my mistakes. I feel like I'm starting to have the right mindset to build my digital empire and be worthy of it. It's undoubtedly very important for someone to teach us how to work on our mindset before we start working on our own business.

I have been in the Instagram University 4.0 for only a day and it already gave me valuable insights into the world of the RICH, especially the lesson with Mr Tai Lopez. This little mastermind that lasted only around 90 minutes made me change my mind completley about my goals, it made me change my opinion about money.It also provided me with a clear idea of what being rich truly means. I am realy looking forward to go through the rest of the course and I am ready to learn new things along the way!

it was still repeading context and I could not complete the lessons for 100! I could only finish 41% I just end up with Modul 5

Everything was insanely insightful. Lots of information to get started on my theme page. I am feeling amped and really excited to put everything into practice and my goal is that as soon as I have 10 000 followers then I am definitely booking a one on one mentor session with Niklas. There is so much value in the content, that I need a few days to just process it all.

Informative as shares the methodology to make a success.

Only on Module 2 but very valuable information so far! Has be motivated to continue the program and put a lot of work into it.

So far I have no complaints about how the university is set up. It is very comprehensive and really ties all the videos together in a way that is not overwhelming.

Reply from Instagram University 4.0 by Niklas Pedde
It's been really great so far, I'm really looking forward to the rest of the lessons.

Reply from Instagram University 4.0 by Niklas Pedde
This program has a lot of talking with no transition and a lack of accessibility for the hearing-impaired and Deaf/Hard of Hearing. I would recommend adjusting that to add cc for all videos to help them understand better. I was expecting to show the work on how to utilize Instagram to grow my production to the next level. But I guess I have to be patient to go through it all until I see what I need to do to invest in it to make money.

Videos and lessons are direct to the point. No jargons. Content is super helpful.

Module One of Instagram University 4.0 was an eye-opening experience! The focus on mindset, goal setting, and success habits was incredibly valuable. I appreciated the insights from Tai Lopez and Raoul Plickat, especially the strategies on overcoming procrastination and building a strong foundation for success. The lessons were practical and motivating, making applying the concepts in real life easier. If you're looking for the right mindset to start and grow a business, this module is a must-watch

Cheers Niklas for the amazing experiance so far..

I like how he has structured things, and to be honest, the values delivered are worth more than the price you pay! He doesn't just start by showing you the Instagram Hacks; instead, he prepares your mind and shares his entrepreneurial experience. He is a very simple and cool guy!
