Beautiful Delivery.

The topics were very well articulated, even with my experience in HR & Administration, he delivered eloquently & authoritatively showing he knows his onions about this field. Some people may be skeptical because of so many fraudulent activities out there,but I personally think he is one of the few to be trusted because he has given enough even without taking money & going on Teju babyface' show is another plus for him.
I undoubtedly recommend him & his team anytime 'T'

This guy is a liar

This guy is a liar. He said, in the webinar that if you go through the program and you don't get a value for your money and you are not able to secure a 6 figure paying job, that he would refund you. Based on that, I went ahead and made a payment only for this scammer to deny this to Paypal even though I have the recording of the webinar. He told PayPal that his policy on his website is what they should go by and that I agreed to it. So report him to reportfraud.ftc.gov if you feel duped.
Per your response, are you denying stating in your webinar that you offer a 100% money back guarantee? So, you trick us with that money back guarantee talk and then refer us to your website when we request the refund. Do you not recognize you are a scammer?
I really don't need any response from you cos you are a deceiver and like I said, I will do all I can to get my money back, including suing you. So, stop responding.

Tolulope's ability to communicate his wealth of experience to help create a definite path into GRC is second to none. I was able to see my faults and the necessary connections to be made.
I will recommend this (i.e. Tolulope, Excelmindcyber and the challenge) anytime anyday.

I attended the 5 day boot camp training on cyber security - GRC with Tolu and his team. For someone that's new to cyber security, wanting to know what it entails, this training was very, very, informative. Valuable information and teaching about the eight domain for cyber security was taught by the, expert Tolulope Michael was outstanding. Every aspect of Cyber security domain was explained in detailed, the requirements, skills, experience, trainings, and duration to complete the course and required certifications. The importance of having a very good resume as outlined , mentoring and process of getting hired and what to do after the interview as follow up. Above all, the training was very detailed, information and me and other students in attendance. Assignments to be completed at the end of each sections and going over the presentation material to for a better understanding of the lesson covered each day was provided. I encourage anyone that wants a change in their career part to cyber security to reach out to Tolulope. These 4 days bootcamp have built my confidence and encouraged my decision for a change of career path into cyber security. Thank you Tolu and his amazing team member. Your training is Top Notch.

Excellently Packaged Cybersecurity Training

As someone new to the world of GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance), the training from Excelmindcyber has been incredibly eye-opening!

Tolulope Michael broke down complex topics into simple, manageable pieces, making it easy for beginners like me to understand the importance of compliance and risk management. I’ve gained valuable insights into how GRC frameworks work and how they help organizations stay secure and efficient.

The daily tasks have been especially helpful. I’m feeling much more confident about starting my journey in GRC. Highly recommend this training for anyone looking to build a strong foundation!

5 Days Boot Camp


I have been attending the 5-day cybersecurity boot camp. Today is Day 4. It has been very informative, eye-opening. After the overview on day 1, Mr Tolu focuses on GRC and how to get a job without experience. He gives information also of how to tailor your resume and how to apply for jobs. Tolu Michael and his team are doing a wonderful job presenting cybersecurity in a way that those without relevant backgrounds can understand and begin to embrace. Very informative bootcamp, precise and clearly lays down the foundation of what needs to be done to get into GRC. Thank you Mr Tolu and your team for the hard work and commitment to share your knowledge.

I am totally disappointed....

After watching the webinar, I felt very confident that I would obtain the value promised. I went all in. Also because Tolulope is a fellow Nigerian, I selected his course amongst others. I paid $3000 in full for the course.

Though the course has a ton of video content, which I believe is available in the public domain, a real structured holding of the hand, internship, and personalized attention which I was expecting is missing.

My first disappointment came as I watched the course and realized that I needed to go get cybersecurity fundamental knowledge. I thought it would be included in the program. I had to stop taking this course to prepare for a fundamental program called Comptia Security + because I really wanted to understand everything.

Now going back to the course after getting the fundamentals, I feel lost, there is really no one to talk to aside from a success manager who is not a GRC expert. I feel really scammed.

Also, it is impossible to reach Tolulope Michael. It's a shame.

I regret buying this course and I'm trying to get a full or partial refund so that I can enroll in another program (Eretmis Academy GRC Internship) which I have found to be much better. This is not a pleasant experience.

As a new immigrant to the USA trying to find my feet, this is very bad and I feel so upset. I would not want anyone else to get scammed by Tolulope Michael. Please DO NOT BUY THIS COURSE.

TMC omg

TMC omg. I don’t even know where to start. I just started my experience on cybersecurity. In short I know nothing. Don’t even know where to start from. But just being on this challenge I know exactly how to Channel and where to start from. He teaches like he is literally on the room with yoh. So you def have to understand. You will know what to do on this journey. Might be tough. But you will know WHAT TO DO. God bless y’all.

Excelmindcyber avoid given those people your card information

This program seems legit when i 1st lend to micheal tulupe add, i signed up for his 5days seminar, which was a one time $147 payment. The Guys seems nice and well informed in the cyber security topic. at the end of the seminar, i went to amazon an purchased 2 of his books. i thought i was done with everything, however the month followed i saw a charge from my credit card from excelmindcyber i was surprise, i thought i paid one time $147, i contacted the company and received a text back said it was a monthly payment, i replied what do i get for the monthly payment. he said to send my email, he'll take me off the system and issue a refund. ok., the following month again they charged my card $147. I felt very disappointed had to cancel the card to prevent future payment for absolutely nothing. The guys look and sounds honest but!!

Think Carefully About This Program...

About 5 weeks ago, I was offered the option to pay $199 for Tolu's five-day challenge scheduled for the evening of the following week, and while intrigued, I worked 3 of those evenings and dismissed the offer. Last week, it was offered to me again, but at no cost!? I had my lunch hour open this week, so I signed up and I just completed the 5-day Cybersecurity Challenge. While the information was in-depth each day and provided a good basis for "whetting the whistle" in this genre of occupations, and provided some good information about resume writing, LinkedIn construction, and interviewing, I became suspect on day 4 when speaking about resumes and LinkedIn profiles: His team would rebuild and reconstruct both for Cybersecurity jobs - for which none of us had any experience. On Day 5 we looked at a resume which supposedly reflected a recent mentee's application for a job at Tik Tok - it reflected at least 10 years of experience in the genre of cybersecurity - ??? How is this possible if the person was just finishing up their 90-day course and had no real practical experience? I asked that question in the chat and was advised that the resume [my words] is tailored to the role of the posting!! Sooo - the experience listed in the resume was fraudulent? I have since inquired about who and how a reference for this mentee is handled when Tik Tok calls upon those companies reflected on the resume and wants verifiable documentation of their work experience. Furthermore, I had noticed the same exact people were asking questions via video every day of the five days, and mine which were written were not answered until 2-3 hours after the presentation was completed. I have since learned that the glitches I was seeing during the presentation were simply edits, and everything we viewed was pre-recorded. The entire week, while providing good solid information [thus 2 stars], it was only building toward a 90-day educational and job search forum that would likely cost a substantial amount of money. I was correct, but it was much more than the $5000 I suspected. $25000 - $65000 for 90 days - 180 days with a year of further support with a moneyback guarantee, the cost dependent upon the program selected. Many complained they couldn't afford it, many complained they only had 3 hours to make the first payment of $1599 and couldn't discuss finances with their spouses until after work [and after the timer to pay expired]. While I never intended to move forward because of my schedule, it is scary to think there are folks who were begging for additional time to make a payment while not considering that the facade of the program was questionable. On day 5, it was clearly mentioned that the prep for the certifications was paid for, but NOT the actual testing! The testing for CISM and CISA can cost $700, add C-Risk, and it's more than $1100 [per multiple internet sites]! If one is paying $25000 for the "basic" silver program, for what reason are the tests not paid by the program? Also, I spoke to an HR person working locally for Google - your background is seriously scrutinized - if you put something on your resume, this HR person advised me that they know HR folks at other cyber related companies that will be contacted to verify your work history no matter whom you may list as a reference. I would tread very carefully. Tolu did state that your integrity can be and will be put to the test and one misstep can [my word] "blacklist" you from the community. Think very carefully how you're investing your money...

Beware of this

Beware, guys, The 5-day challenge isn't a live session, it is pre-recorded and he plays the same video every week and sticks a 'Live" banner at the top of the video, spoke to one of the ladies before joining. She promised it was going to be live, and it was the same videos that were played the previous weeks, I joined the session with a different email to the one i joined the first time just to verify this, Also when you pay, they wouldnt refund you anything, but they claim it's 100% money guarantee. They make all sort of fake promises just to get your money, In one of the packages where they charge $25,599 and guarantee a $1m annual salary ($80,000/month), one begins to wonder why he and those that work for him don't have such jobs but wants people to pay for a 90 day course that guarantees this?
