Before you spend ₦25,000–₦120,000 on any Digital Witch training program, “Is Digital Witch legit?” is the right question to ask first. I’ve reviewed all three of Digital Witch’s core courses individually, but this post steps back to look at the platform itself — who runs it, what their track record looks like, and what to watch for before you commit.
Who’s Behind Digital Witch
Digital Witch was founded in April 2021 by Ekwutosi Cynthia Okeh, a Nigerian edtech entrepreneur. According to interviews with Tribune Online and Technext24, the platform grew out of her interest in helping women — particularly stay-at-home wives and those without formal tech backgrounds — access digital skills that could open up local and international income opportunities.
Okeh has been recognized beyond just her own platform’s marketing: she was selected for the Tony Elumelu Foundation Mentorship program in 2022, a reasonably well-known entrepreneurship recognition in Nigeria’s business ecosystem, and has been featured in legitimate tech and business press covering her work in the space.
Track Record and Scale
By the company’s own account (reported in a Tribune Online interview), Digital Witch had trained over 40,000 students in under four years as of early 2025. That’s a meaningful scale for a Nigerian edtech platform, and it lines up with visible community activity — their Facebook page has over 100,000 followers, with regular engagement on posts about upcoming courses and student activity.
Worth being clear-eyed about: these are figures reported by the company and its founder, not independently audited numbers. That’s normal for a platform at this stage — most training businesses report their own statistics — but it’s worth knowing the difference between “self-reported” and “third-party verified” when you’re deciding how much weight to give any number.
What to Actually Check Before You Pay
Rather than just taking founder credibility or follower counts at face value, here’s what I’d actually recommend checking yourself:
- Look at employer/employee reviews. Digital Witch has a page on Glassdoor with reviews from people connected to the company — worth a quick read for a different angle than marketing copy.
- Check their refund/guarantee policy directly before paying, since course platforms vary widely here and it’s not always clearly stated in the sales copy.
- Start with their lowest-cost course first if you’re unsure. The ₦25,000 IT Support/VA training is a lower-risk way to evaluate their teaching quality before committing ₦90,000 or ₦120,000 to a longer program.
- Ask in their community/Facebook group before buying. An active public group with 100,000+ followers means you can usually find current students willing to share honest feedback before you commit any money.
My Honest Take
Based on what’s publicly verifiable — a real founder with a documented background, legitimate press coverage, an actual mentorship recognition, and years of visible operating history rather than a platform that appeared overnight — Digital Witch reads as a legitimate, established training business, not a scam operation. That said, “legitimate business” and “the right course for you specifically” are two different questions. A real company can still run a course that isn’t the best fit for your particular goals or learning style, which is exactly why I’ve reviewed each of their three programs individually rather than just vouching for the brand as a whole.
If you want the specifics on what each course actually teaches: IT Support/VA, CSM/TAM & Onboarding, and Cloud Computing — or see how all three compare side by side in this comparison post.
