This company and program is a FRAUD!!
And they will never refund your money if you catch up to their fraud and decide to opt out.
The reviews here are positive because the so called Success Coaches pretend to be nice and responsive at the beginning. Once they feel they have you, they send a link to you to write reviews. After the reviews, things begin to go downhill.
The guy should seriously be investigated!

Hi Kemi,
Thank you for sharing your concerns. We take feedback and public claims about our program very seriously, and we’d like to provide some clarification for everyone reading this review.
Our program details, pricing, and refund policy are clearly communicated and provided in writing to participants before enrollment. While we understand that experiences and expectations may differ, describing the program as “fraud” does not accurately reflect the nature of our services or the experience of the many participants we have supported in pursuing careers in cybersecurity.
We’d also like to clarify that our review requests are part of our standard communication process and are shared with participants at designated program milestones. They are not selectively sent based on whether we expect a positive review.
If you feel your refund request was not handled appropriately, we’re happy to look into your specific situation. Please reach out to us directly with your account details so we can review the matter and provide you with the appropriate clarification.
We genuinely value our participants’ trust and appreciate the opportunity to address concerns openly and respectfully.

This Tolupe Micheal is all scam and all…
This Tolupe Micheal is all scam and all fake promises to get your money. He does not help any one get a job. Even ISACA revoked the CISA certificates of his students. PLEASE DO NOT BE SCAMMED, DO NOT ENROLL IN HIS WEBINAR AND PROGRAM
This program is fraudulent. All the positive reviews here are impostors from Tolu and his team.
Prospective students do not enroll in this program. All the promises are fake to get almost $ 15,000 from each student.
ISACA revoked the CISA certification of his students and Tolu never gave any explanation for that. The CISA is done by his team, I believe, from India, which takes over the computer and writes the exam for the student.
His listed addresses are not in operation, the Chicago office is foreclosed and the Dallas office is locked and not in operation.
Students from even 2years ago have not gotten any job and every day Tolupe Micheal goes on social media to scam vulnerable immigrants seeking a better life. No novice gets GRC training in just 90 days.
He writes resumes with lies and wrong qualifications.
He sends recorded videos and does only Abel Tuter on servicenow Impersonator.
Hires a VA as a success manager from Nigeria that are not GRC staff and unprofessional.
DO NOT ENROLL IN THIS PROGRAM.
Tolulope Micheal, for you to keep sending your imposter to do your dirty work and lies is unethical and unacceptable.
You lies is unprofessional. Stop defrauding vulnerable students. Stop your enticing lies.
Again, DO NOT ENROLL IN THESE SCAM POTENTIAL STUDENTS.
Ignore all the positive reviews, they are all Tolulope Micheal machinery to distract you from his lies, fraudulent and scam 90 day to GRC program.

Hello Helen,
Thank you for sharing your concerns. We take feedback seriously, particularly when it raises questions about the integrity of our organization.
Several of the statements in your review are presented as factual allegations. Because they involve serious claims about fraud, certification processes, and business operations, we believe it's important to clarify a few points for prospective students.
Our institute does not administer certification examinations on behalf of any third-party certification body, nor do we have the ability to influence or control the certification decisions of independent organizations. Certification providers maintain their own policies, security procedures, and disciplinary processes, and any actions they take are determined independently.
Similarly, our career support is designed to help students strengthen their competitiveness through training, coaching, resume development, interview preparation, and networking. As with any educational or professional development program, employment outcomes depend on numerous factors, including an individual's experience, effort, market conditions, and employer hiring decisions.
Your comments also reference our offices, instructional methods, and staff. Like many modern education providers, we utilize a combination of virtual delivery, remote team members, and online coaching to serve students across multiple locations. This operating model is common throughout the education and technology sectors and does not affect the quality or legitimacy of our programs.
Finally, allegations that our team engages in dishonest practices or encourages students to misrepresent their qualifications are categorically inconsistent with our standards and values. We expect our students to uphold professional and ethical conduct throughout their careers, and we are committed to doing the same.
We remain committed to transparency and welcome respectful, fact-based discussions about our programs. If you were enrolled and have concerns about your individual experience, we encourage you to contact us directly so they can be reviewed appropriately.
Kind regards,
The Tolulope Michael Team

Misrepresentation and Deceptive Advertising
Excelmindcyber’s so-called 90-day Job Placement Program is a blatant case of misrepresentation and deceptive advertising intended to lure unsuspecting members of the public. The program’s curriculum is substandard, the promised job placement support was never provided, and the overall delivery falls far below any acceptable professional standard.
Despite receiving full payment upfront, Tolulope Michael and Excelmindcyber LLC failed to deliver on their advertised commitments and refused to issue the full refund they guaranteed in the event of poor performance. The organization also demonstrates deeply unethical and unprofessional practices. Any prospective buyer should exercise extreme caution.

Refund not Received
Hi, Joy
This is just an update to my previous review,
I haven't got my refund. It has been seven months since I asked for my 100 USD, it has been very poorly managed by the people of the company. All information about the refund has been provided, including PayPal account info, but the email reply says we are reviewing the refund for the past seven months.
If it takes seven months to process a refund, then what else can I say about this company, Tolu? You should be ashamed of yourself. You are as fake as your videos

Please be assured that our finance team will look into this matter and work towards resolving it as soon as possible.

Title: Very Disappointing Experience- No Results After $12,000 Investment
I joined this program with high expectations based on the promises made during their onboarding and 5-Day Challenge. I was then selected into their so-called “Mastered Program” and assured that I would secure a job within 90 days. Unfortunately, that never happened.
I invested a total of $12,000, committed my time, followed their process, and stayed actively engaged with the team. Despite all of this, I did not achieve the promised outcome. Instead, I experienced repeated delays, poor communication, and even missed job opportunities due to the team’s lack of timely support.
What is most frustrating is that I raised these concerns as early as December 2024 and continued to follow up consistently, yet no meaningful resolution was provided. Rather than taking accountability, they have refused to issue a refund, even though the core promise of the program was not fulfilled.
I am also deeply concerned about how payments were handled. There were instances where funds were taken from my account without proper authorization, which raises serious concerns about their business practices.
This experience has been both financially and emotionally draining. My biggest regret is ever joining this program.
I strongly advise anyone considering this company to think carefully and do thorough research before making any financial commitment.

Hi Sally,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear about your concerns and truly appreciate the time and commitment you invested in the program.
We want to clarify that our programs are designed to provide structured training, guidance, and support; however, career outcomes such as job placement depend on multiple factors, including individual effort and consistency. While many of our participants achieve successful transitions, timelines can vary.
That said, we take concerns around communication and support seriously. This is not the experience we aim to provide, and we would like the opportunity to review your case in detail and address any gaps.
Regarding your concerns about payments, we take such matters very seriously and would appreciate the chance to investigate this further with you directly.
Kindly reach out to us at [email protected] with your full details so we can escalate this internally and work toward a fair resolution.
We remain committed to supporting our students and resolving concerns in a professional and transparent manner.
Best regards,

I need my money back all efforts to…
Please if you have been defrauded by excelcybermind reach to me on kelvinuyi12@gmail we are preparing for a class action
I need my money back all efforts to reach tolulope for my refund have proven abortive. No response to email or calls.
I sent my proof of payments yet no response. You only reply here cause of public perception
See the response this people are writing :
Thank you for reaching out regarding your request for a refund.After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that we are unable to process your refund request. There are several reasons for this decision, which I would like to outline for you:
1. Access to Proprietary Information:By joining our program, you have gained access to proprietary information and materials. This access is a significant part of the value we provide and, as such, cannot be returned or undone.
2.Time Elapsed:Aconsiderable amount of time has passed since you joined the program. Our refund policy has a specific time frame within which refund requests can be made, and unfortunately, your request falls outside this period.
We appreciate your understanding of our position on this matter. Our policies are in place to ensure fairness and consistency for all.
Best regards,
ExcelMindCyber Team
My response back to them
I am writing to formally dispute your decision to deny my refund request.
From the very beginning, I made my concerns and frustrations clearly known to your team. These were consistently ignored. The delay you referenced was not due to inaction on my part, but rather a direct result of your failure to respond despite my repeated attempts to reach out through multiple platforms, including emails, calls, and even escalating the matter through a Success Manager.
Additionally, the terms under which I joined your program included a money-back guarantee that was clearly stated without conditions, other than not securing a job within 90 days. At no point was I informed of additional requirements or restrictions.
However, after this period, I was asked to sign a waiver extending the timeline by an additional three months. When I refused to sign this new condition which was not part of the original agreement communication from your team abruptly stopped.
I want to emphasize that I have documented proof of all correspondence, including my multiple attempts to contact your team, the lack of response, and the introduction of new policies after my enrollment. These actions are not consistent with fair business practices.
Given these facts, I request that you reconsider your decision and process my refund accordingly. I expect a timely resolution to this matter.

Hi Kelvin,
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
We would like to provide some clarification to ensure you have the full context. All program terms, including expectations, participation requirements, and refund conditions, are clearly communicated during enrollment and onboarding.
Based on our records, the student referenced in your review has not been actively attending or participating in the program. As outlined in our policy, eligibility for a refund is contingent upon meeting these participation requirements.
With regard to your mention of an unconditional money-back guarantee, we would like to clarify that this is subject to specific terms and conditions, including active participation and defined timelines, all of which are communicated upfront.
An extension was also offered as an additional support measure to provide more time and guidance. This was intended to support progress and did not alter the original agreement. The decision not to proceed with this option does not change the agreed terms.
We take communication seriously and remain open to reviewing any specific concerns you may have experienced. Our support channels have been consistently available.
While the refund request does not meet the criteria outlined in our policy, we remain committed to supporting the student and helping them move forward.

Please the public should be aware of…
Please the public should be aware of this company. The has a pattern of inducing individuals to register for a 5 days life training and after that put presure on them to pay a non- refundable deposit. He went further to guarantee a special loan platform that would finance the extended 90 days program. All his assertions are misrepresented. Pls make sure you do a diligent research before engaging with this business. Make sure that there is a written policy on refunds in the event that the supposed loan is not approved. I don't know why this business have not been investigated for its business practice. Make sure you do your due diligence plsss. Many innocent people have been defrauded. Pls do a reviews.
