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

Use 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

Copilot in the five Microsoft 365 apps your team uses

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 module takes one app: a short demo, a hands-on task on your own laptop, then a debrief. You try the task your way, see where Copilot misses, then learn the prompt or the file reference that fixes it.

Practice files are fictional or non-confidential and sit in your own tenant. Before the course we ask which tasks your teams handle, so the exercises match their work. Microsoft updates Copilot often, so we teach what your licences include at the time of training.

Talk and Demo

  • Summarise a long thread and catch up on what you missed
  • Draft replies in the right tone, and meeting recaps with actions

Worked example

One meeting, five apps

A fictional project meeting, followed through Microsoft 365. It shows the habits the course builds: start from the right files, check before sending, and know what Copilot can see.

  1. Teams: recap the meeting

    Copilot summarises the meeting and lists the actions. You check the actions against what was agreed before anyone relies on them.

  2. Outlook: draft the follow-up

    Copilot drafts the follow-up email from the recap in the right tone. You edit it and check names, dates and owners before sending.

  3. Word: turn notes into a brief

    Point Copilot at the recap and your notes to produce a structured first draft of the project brief, then tighten it with follow-up prompts.

  4. Excel: check the numbers

    Ask Copilot to analyse the project budget workbook, then sanity-check totals, duplicates and odd values before quoting a figure.

  5. PowerPoint: draft the update deck

    Turn the Word brief into a first-draft deck and revise it with prompts, ready for your own judgement on structure and message.

What Copilot can see: it works with the files, emails and chats you already have permission to open, so your permissions shape every answer. Pointing it at the right files matters as much as the prompt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Microsoft 365 Copilot is licensed separately from the Microsoft 365 plan it sits on, and Microsoft changes names and bundles over time. Ask your IT team or Microsoft partner what your organisation holds. We teach the Copilot features your licences include at the time of training.
