Course Details

This practical 1-day course explores how developers can use GitHub Copilot to support modern software development workflows and improve day-to-day coding productivity.

You will learn how GitHub Copilot works within development environments to assist with writing, explaining, debugging and refining code across a range of development tasks. The course focuses on practical workflows that help developers remain in control while using AI tools more effectively and responsibly.

Training covers how to work with prompts, project context and AI-assisted suggestions to generate cleaner, more consistent and more maintainable code. Delegates will also explore how Copilot can support debugging, refactoring, documentation and repetitive coding tasks within real-world development workflows.

Because this is a bespoke course, training can be adapted to your organisation’s development environments, coding standards, workflows and project goals. Sessions can incorporate relevant languages, frameworks and real-world scenarios to ensure practical outcomes for your team.

Courses are available live online, onsite at your organisation, or in the classroom at our centres in London, Manchester and Glasgow.
