You do not need any technical prior knowledge: basic knowledge of Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams is enough to get started with Copilot straight away.

No, the Microsoft Copilot course does not require any technical prior knowledge or AI experience. It is useful, however, if you work with Microsoft 365 on a daily basis and are familiar with programs such as Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams. The course is taught in a classroom setting. You get down to practical work straight away, using recognisable examples and your own cases.

In the Copilot course you work with Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams. You learn how to use Copilot smartly in each programme: writing texts in Word, analysing data in Excel, summarising emails in Outlook and processing meetings in Teams. You practise with recognisable practical examples, so that you apply Copilot straight away in your own working day.

Yes, after the Microsoft Copilot course you will receive a certificate of attendance. You complete the course in which you practise with practical examples and your own cases.

Yes, the Microsoft Copilot course can also be taken in-company. You then receive a tailored course, geared to the way your organisation uses Microsoft 365. Useful if you want to get started with Copilot in Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams with a whole team at once. The duration stays the same and the content is aligned with your own practical examples.

Experimenting with Copilot on your own works fine for individual tasks, but you often lack structure and blind spots go unnoticed. In Learnit's classroom course you learn systematically how to build effective prompts, critically assess and adjust the output, and use Copilot in Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams. You practise with recognisable real-world examples and with your own cases. You also gain insight into what Copilot does not do reliably and how to deal with privacy and sensitive information. These are topics you usually only learn about through self-study once something has gone wrong. In short: self-study gives you isolated tricks, the course gives you a working method you can apply the same week.

Privacy and data use are a fixed part of the course day. You learn where the limits of Copilot lie and how to prevent sensitive information from ending up in the wrong place. Specifically, the following is covered: which type of data you should and should not put in a prompt, the difference between a business Microsoft 365 Copilot environment and a personal account, and how to check output before you share it with colleagues or clients. You practise with recognisable practical examples, so that after the day you make conscious choices about when Copilot is the smartest route and when it is not. The course is taught in a classroom setting.

Copilot saves time on tasks you repeat often: summarising emails, producing meeting notes in Teams, writing a first draft of a document or finding patterns in Excel data. For creative or strategic work the gain is smaller. Copilot then provides a starting point, not a finished product. During this classroom course you practise with your own work cases. That way you find out for yourself where Copilot speeds up your work and where you are better off doing it yourself. You also learn how to assess and adjust the output, because a prompt that does not work actually costs time. Those who only ask isolated questions without context often experience disappointing results. The quality of your prompt largely determines the time you save.
