Microsoft Copilot introductory training
The Microsoft Copilot training is designed for companies that want to help their people use artificial intelligence in their everyday work — practically, safely and to good effect. It suits managers, specialists and whole teams who work with Microsoft 365 applications every day.
The training gives an overview of how to use Microsoft 365 Copilot in Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams — to save time, write better text, produce summaries, analyse data, and make recurring tasks simpler.
What you'll be able to do
- write effective prompts
- use Copilot in Excel, Word, Outlook and Teams
- produce drafts, summaries and action plans faster
- analyse data and get a better overview from it
- automate recurring tasks
- save time in your everyday work
Who this course is not for
For an advanced user the material will be largely familiar and high-level. This is an informative overview of the features rather than in-depth skills training — deepening specific working skills and redesigning company processes belong to a later stage, in smaller groups.

We started to see where AI could actually be of help.
Even though AI has existed for over a decade, it's only now becoming a mainstream tool. We were aware of it, but our use was sporadic and, at times, skeptical. The greatest value of working with Eneli and her team was that we began to see where AI could truly help us and how to use this tool to achieve various goals. This journey is just beginning, but we can confidently say that our entire team is now on this accelerating train, rather than waiting on the platform. It's a good feeling because the next train won't be coming anytime soon.
