Overview
- Wanda Nara announced and published Academia Wanda this week, promoting the course to her millions of Instagram followers as a project she worked on for years.
- The program is presented as ten main modules plus three bonus modules on social media, sales and handling criticism, with lifetime access, downloadable worksheets, personal audio messages from Nara and a diploma after a final evaluation.
- The platform lists a one-time price of 100,000 Argentine pesos for residents of Argentina and 67 US dollars for international buyers with enrollment available directly through the Academia Wanda website.
- Criticism surfaced quickly, led by Anamá Ferreira who warned on radio that the course could mislead people about outcomes and questioned the value of promises such as a diploma and personal tips.
- Reporters note the launch comes during a period of heightened scrutiny of Nara because of recent reports about a Milan robbery and legal disputes connected to Mauro Icardi, and observers say regulators, enrollment numbers and consumer reactions will be the next things to watch.
