Bespoke Microsoft Copilot Introduction & Premium Evaluation

Course Details

Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 is an AI-powered assistant integrated into applications such as Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and Teams, designed to help users work more efficiently and enhance everyday productivity. This combined course brings together an introduction to core Copilot features with an evaluation of its more advanced capabilities, providing both practical skills and strategic insight.

The course begins with a hands-on introduction to using Copilot across Microsoft 365 apps, including creating documents, analysing data, generating presentations and improving communication. It then progresses to explore how Copilot can be applied within organisational workflows, supported by demonstrations, practical examples and guidance on writing effective prompts to achieve better results.

In the second part of the day, the focus shifts to evaluating Copilot for business use. You will gain an understanding of licensing requirements, data security and governance considerations, as well as how Copilot can support different departments and roles. In this bespoke full-day course, content is tailored to your organisation and delivered online or onsite, ensuring participants leave with both the confidence to use Copilot and a clear view of how it could be implemented effectively.

Course Target Audience and delegate prerequisites:

This course is intended for professionals who use Microsoft 365 in their day-to-day work and want to get the most from Microsoft Copilot’s built-in AI features. It is suitable for individuals and teams across a range of roles, including administration, marketing, communications, project coordination and business support. The course is particularly useful for organisations and users who want to build confidence with standard Copilot features while also gaining an understanding of Copilot Premium. It provides insight into how Premium capabilities can enhance workflows and how to evaluate its potential benefits for their organisation.
