Excelmindcyber Reviews 353

I wrote a review earlier and was asked to reach out to the team. I am still waiting for a response. I would hope you would at least respond. A number of people have said it's a futile effort; I'll leave you guys to prove me wrong. I will still keep coming here to share my unpalatable experience..

Signed up after talking to them for 4-5 hours and them promising us that there were no additional fees after the 5 day challenge sign up, i found out shortly after we paid that this was a lie, i asked for a refund and still haven't gotten it. good luck finding a phone number or someone who will get on a phone call with you it's all hidden behind Zooms and fake "live" training sessions. I work in a security adjacent role in IT for 15 years and was research this for a career path for my son... none of the security pros and compliance specialists I talk to daily deem the income claims as legitimate, also its been 24 hours and still nobody issue a refund..also check the names of the positive reviews then search for them on linkedin..make your own assessment

Horrible experience. Followed program exactly as instructed. Later found out their practices are fraudulent and a disgrace to the security community. DO NOT take this course. They will lie to you then take your money and get you blacklisted in cybersecurity after following their instructions. BEWARE OF THIS FAKE AND FRAUDULENT program.

I'd spent $3,200 on three different cybersecurity courses over 18 months. Each promised career transformation. Each left me with certificates but zero job prospects and growing frustration.
When I found ExcelMindCyber's 5-Day Cybersecurity Jobs Challenge, I was skeptical. Free content that actually delivers results? After my previous experiences, it seemed impossible.

For two years, I convinced myself that cybersecurity was off-limits because I couldn't write code. Every job posting seemed to demand programming skills, penetration testing expertise, or advanced technical certifications I didn't possess.
I was stuck in project management, earning $42K annually, watching cybersecurity professionals on LinkedIn celebrate six-figure salaries while I assumed that the world was closed to me.
ExcelMindCyber demolished that limiting belief on Day 1. Some of the highest-paid cybersecurity professionals never touch code.' They opened my eyes to the business side of security-risk management, compliance oversight, governance frameworks, and audit coordination.

After 365 days and 247 job applications with exactly zero interviews, I was broke, desperate, and ready to give up on cybersecurity entirely. My savings were gone, my confidence was shattered, and my wife was suggesting I go back to retail.
I had Security+ certification, countless courses on different platforms, and a head full of theoretical knowledge that meant nothing to hiring managers. I was missing something critical but I didn't know what.

I signed up for the 5-Day Cybersecurity Jobs Challenge on a Tuesday night, feeling completely overwhelmed by the cybersecurity field. I had zero technical background, just a marketing degree and three years coordinating campaigns at a small agency.
Day 1 hit me like a revelation: You don't need to code to protect companies. By Day 3, when they broke down GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance), everything clicked. I saw exactly how my project management skills, attention to detail, and communication abilities were perfect for cybersecurity roles I never knew existed.
The breakthrough moment? When the instructor said, 'Rachel, you're already doing risk assessment when you evaluate campaign performance metrics.' Suddenly, cybersecurity didn't feel foreign, it felt like home.

The program is a well packaged scam. Good presentations but here are the flaws:
It is pre-recorded
You will be asked to pay $695 for the program. Please note it's only for the 5day and it doesn't cover 90 days.
At the end of the 5 days you will be asked to pay either $16000, 19000 or 25000 depending on the package you want.
No one will pay 695 just for 5 days
You will be told that the next batch will be in 3 months but run the 5 Days Challenge biweekly
The same people asked questions. You will not see anyone in the meeting room and you will NEVER be selected to talk.
You will be added to a Facebook group created by one content creator.
Save your money to other genuine Boothcamp.
Note: I guess those who gave 5 stars either did so before the end of the 5 days and are not real people as most of the name does not even exist on LinkedIn.

Great thanks to Micheal Tolulope and the Excelmindcyber Team. This challenge has been insightful, rigorous and knowledgeable. The challenge provided me with the fundamental skillsets needed in Cybersecurity, guided me to decide which path to take and shifted my mindset to the possibilities and opportunities in GRC and the strategies that I need to apply to attain a position and be successful in a GRC role. I would like to see them expand quickly and give more people this opportunity and I believe they have the capacity to do more.

Amazing and refreshing experience. I am lot more confident I can pivot to GRC. Thank you Olu & team for the very valuable exposure to GRC

I joined this program after it was advertised as offering live classes, but what I received were only prerecorded videos. Even the so-called “webinar” was prerecorded. If i wanted videos, i could have opted for YouTube.Yet, during that same webinar, Tolulope promised a 100% cash back guarantee if we were not satisfied. When I asked for a refund, they chose to ignore their own promise.

The materials shared were inferior and unprofessional — nothing more than blurred photocopies. I only attended the first day of their prerecorded “challenge” to confirm my suspicions, and sadly, I was right.

Tolulope, this is pure scam behavior. If you are going to show people outdated prerecorded videos, the least you can do is be upfront about it so they can decide whether to join. Misleading people with false promises and then refusing refunds is unacceptable.

I strongly caution anyone considering this program to think twice before committing.

TM has been very amazing, attending his training have been wonderful, inspiring and educative. will strongly
recommend to anyone who do not have a cybersecurity background.

Amazing TM, a mentor, coach and lifter. His team are apt to get you going.
Cheers.

Beware: big scam is happening here.

This man advertised his course to be a 90-days cyber security program, I watched his video and I was skeptical, I got on a call with one of his advisors who also advised it’s 90days for $697 USD but we would 5days first after which the more intensive one will continue… according to her it is divided into first 5days, then 30 days then another 30 days it is arranged in milestones.

She explained they will help to secure a job all during the 90days as well.

She is Nigerian just like him crooks.

I signed up and once the program started, we were watching pre-recorded videos disguised as “lives” which is not a big deal to me as long as what was promised is delivered.

Then he started saying on the last day, he has an offer for us. I knew he would require us to pay more, I was disappointed when he kept mentioning this offer but I thought let me wait to the last day to hear the offer he is talking about.

While watching the “pre-recorded “ live you can see a couple of people complaining about this new development (of an offer where we may have to pay more) and he never apologized. He kept saying there’s a miscommunication.

Yeah right… a miscommunication with several different people then your advisors should be coached. All your calls are recorded so why don’t you correct that miscommunication if you really want to.

Finally by the last day say (5th day ) of the challenge he finally dropped the bombshell, saying if we want the actual 90 challenge we have to pay $12600USD.

He has every right to charge whatever considering the supposed value he promised but to deceive people to pay you $697 only to then say this price is only for 5days “introduction” to the course is unacceptable.

You dragged it to the very end to tell this information. From my observation this is a recurring thing and not a 1 time thing.

But be aware that I will spread this news on every platform about you.
I make videos on social media, watch out for me, at least my videos will save 1 or 2 persons.

ExcelMindCyber made my transition to the cybersecurity career so easy. I am loving it so far!

My experience in the 5 days challenge has been short of amazing. It is worth the time and investment

It’s been an interesting and informative sessions with the boss himself Tolu. The simplified approach is tailored to anyone even with zero IT experience to understand.
Money well spent.

I was 44, unemployed, and unsure if I could pivot again. Excelmindcyber helped me identify my transferable skills, develop hands-on experience, and build a resume that actually spoke to hiring managers. It’s not magic , it’s strategy. And it works.

I’ll be honest, I was skeptical when I signed up. I had already taken other courses before that promised the world but led nowhere. Just a bunch of content, no real support, and no outcomes to show for it. So I came into this one cautiously, wondering if it would be any different. It was. Massively. From day one, the experience felt intentional. The resume writing process wasn’t just someone rewriting my experience with buzzwords; it was collaborative, strategic, and sharp. They asked the right questions, helped me reframe my background through a cybersecurity lens, and positioned me like someone who belonged in the room, not someone trying to break in.

Their instructors are in the trenches, people working in cybersecurity today. That shows. Everything I learned was current, real world, and useful. I had job offers before I even finished the full 90 days.
