MICROSOFT COPILOT COURSE

Microsoft Copilot Training for Teams

Q: Do you work with our IT team?

We recommend a short call with your IT team before the session to confirm licences, permissions and any restrictions, so the exercises work in your environment.

Q: Can you train in our own Microsoft 365 tenant?

Yes, and sessions usually run that way. Participants use their own work accounts in your tenant, so Copilot respects the permissions they already have. Exercises use fictional or non-confidential files.

Q: Should we choose a half day, a full day or 2 days?

A half day of about four hours covers the core apps with a hands-on task in each module. A full day or 2 days adds depth and more practice on your own files, with time to build your prompt library.

Q: How do you support adoption?

The session builds the habits adoption depends on: practice on real tasks, a shared prompt library and agreed checks on output. Your IT team can see usage in Microsoft's admin reports. If you want a follow-up session for your team, ask us when you enquire.

Q: How much does Copilot training cost?

Fees depend on the format, group size and how much we tailor the content. Contact us for pricing and we will send a quote for your team.

Buying Copilot licences is easy. Getting people to use them well is harder.

Facing issues such as:

Licences bought, with only a few people using Copilot day to day
Staff unsure what Copilot can see in the company's files, emails and chats
Meeting summaries and draft replies sent without a check
Excel answers that look right but have not been verified
No shared prompts, so each person starts from scratch

Leave using Copilot inside the work you already do.

Use Copilot where you work

Practise in Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel and PowerPoint on tasks from your own week, not demo files.
Know what Copilot can see

Understand in plain terms how your permissions shape its answers, and how to point it at the right files.
Share what works

Build a team prompt library and agree habits for checking output before it goes out.

Who is this course for?

For organisations putting Microsoft 365 Copilot to work

Teams with Copilot Licences

Organisations that have bought Microsoft 365 Copilot, or are piloting it, and want people to use it on real work.

IT and L&D Leads Planning Adoption

People who need a hands-on session that supports a wider rollout, alongside your own communications and support.

Staff Who Live in Microsoft 365

Employees whose day is mostly Outlook, Teams, Word and Excel, and who want to spend less of it on routine drafting and catch-up.

Course Overview

Learn by using Copilot on your own tasks.

Workshop Agenda

Use Copilot in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams on your own work
Ground answers in the right files and know what Copilot can see
Summarise meetings and email threads, and draft replies you check before sending
Analyse and explain data in Excel, and verify the numbers
Build a prompt library your team can share
Follow safe-use habits for data, permissions and review

Each session follows the rhythm of our AI at Work workshop: a short explanation of the idea, a hands-on task on your own laptop, then a debrief. You try each task your own way first, see where it breaks, then apply a method that fixes it.

Exercises use fictional or non-confidential files, so nobody needs to share company data. Microsoft updates Copilot often, so we teach the features your licences include at the time of training.
