The Microsoft 365 Copilot course
for teams that need more
than a one-hour demo.
Module by module. Skills that stick.
A Microsoft 365 Copilot course is different from a workshop. A workshop gives you a session. A course gives you a program: structured modules, real practice time, sessions spaced so people can work with Copilot in between and bring back actual questions. Interest in this format is rising sharply right now, and for good reason. One session isn't enough to change how people work.
I've run this course (and every format around it) for 120+ organizations as of mid-2026, across just about every category: insurance, banking, healthcare, startups, retail, professional services, and more. Organizations from mid-sized to enormous. Dozens of those sessions in English, over Zoom, for distributed and international teams. The course runs live online as a default. It also runs in-person when that's what the organization specifically needs.
What a Microsoft 365 Copilot course actually is
A Microsoft 365 Copilot course is a structured, multi-session program. Not a one-off orientation. Not a product overview. A program with a beginning, a middle, and an end: participants start with foundations, move into the specific apps they use, get into agents and more advanced use, and finish with the habits that make adoption stick past week two.
The reason most Copilot rollouts stall is that training was a single event rather than a program. People leave a workshop with good intentions and zero follow-through structure. A course changes that. There's homework (informal, but real). There are questions that come up between sessions. There's accountability. The skills compound instead of evaporating.
Every module is built around what participants actually do at work. If the team is mostly in Outlook and Word, we go deep there first. If Excel is the main event, we front-load that. (I talk with someone who knows the team before I build the content, every time. No generic deck.)
The Microsoft Copilot course: module by module
Here is how the course is typically structured. The module order and depth shift based on the team. But this is the framework I've landed on after running the program for dozens of organizations of different sizes, in different sectors, in English and in other languages.
01Foundations: how Copilot actually works
Before anyone opens Word or Outlook, we cover what Copilot is and what it isn't. How it reasons, where it pulls from, what "grounded in your data" means in practice. This isn't a tech lecture. It's the 20 minutes that makes everything else make sense. People who skip this module tend to blame Copilot for outputs that are actually just bad prompting. We fix that here.
02Per-app skills: Word, Outlook, Teams, Excel, PowerPoint
This is the core of the Microsoft 365 Copilot course. We go application by application through the apps the team actually uses. Word: drafting, rewriting, summarizing long documents. Outlook: composing replies, threading summaries, catching up on inboxes. Teams: meeting summaries, catching up on sessions you missed, action item extraction. Excel: data analysis, formula explanations, chart suggestions. PowerPoint: generating slides from existing documents, improving structure. We pick the 2-3 apps that matter most for this specific team and go deep, rather than skimming all five in 45 minutes.
03Prompting: the skill that transfers everywhere
The biggest capability gap for new Copilot users isn't awareness. It's knowing how to ask for something and get back something useful. We spend real time on prompting: what a good prompt looks like, how to iterate, how to build reusable prompts for recurring tasks. This transfers across every Copilot surface (and, not incidentally, to every other AI tool the team uses). See the complete Microsoft Copilot guide for the full prompting framework I teach.
04Agents and advanced use
Microsoft 365 Copilot now includes agents: tools that can work across data sources, take sequences of steps, and handle tasks that used to require human coordination. We cover what agents exist in Copilot today (as of June 2026), what they can realistically do, and how to identify the 2-5 use cases in your organization where they'd create the most immediate value. No hype, no sci-fi scenarios. Practical use cases that your team can actually run.
05Adoption habits: making it stick
The last module is about what happens after the course ends. Most organizations fail here: training happens, people forget, adoption drifts back toward 15-20%. We build the habits and lightweight rituals that prevent that. What to use Copilot for on Monday morning. How to build a team prompt library. How to spot new use cases as they emerge. This module makes the difference between "we took a course" and "we actually use Copilot now."
Who this Copilot course online is for
The course is designed for knowledge workers who already have Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses (or whose organization is about to activate them). It works for people who are completely new to Copilot and for people who've been fumbling with it for three months and want to actually understand what they're doing.
It is not a course for developers or IT administrators (there's a different kind of training for them). It's for the people who spend their days in Word, Outlook, Excel, and Teams. The lawyers, the analysts, the account managers, the HR people, the project managers. The people Copilot was genuinely designed for.
For organizations wondering about the difference between the course and a single workshop, the short version is this: if you want a team to understand Copilot, a Microsoft Copilot workshop gets you there. If you want a team to change how they work, you need a course. More sessions, more practice, more accountability.
The right fit for this course
Organizations that have Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses and want genuine adoption, not just an event on the calendar. Teams where self-guided adoption has stalled or hasn't started. L&D and IT leaders who've been tasked with making the rollout work. Companies that tried a one-off workshop and are looking for the next step. Distributed or international teams who need a live program they can run over Zoom in English.
How the Microsoft Copilot course online runs
The course runs live online over Zoom as the default. That's not a compromise: online works extremely well for this format, participants are already at their computers (which is exactly where they'll use Copilot), and it's substantially easier to coordinate across departments and locations. For organizations that specifically want an in-room event, in-person is available. But most teams I work with go online and don't look back.
01Live online course over Zoom (recommended)
Four sessions of 2-3 hours each, delivered live over Zoom, spaced over 2-4 weeks. Each session is interactive: live demos, exercises participants do on their own machines, Q&A, and time to work through real examples from the team's actual work. Between sessions, participants use Copilot in their jobs and bring questions back to the next session. This is where the real learning happens. The course is conducted in English for distributed and international teams. I've delivered dozens of these sessions this way, across just about every category of organization from mid-sized to enormous.
02In-person course (on request)
The same four-module structure, delivered in-person at your location. Works well for organizations where face-to-face training is the standard, or where there's a specific event (a company offsite, a department training day) that the course can anchor. Same content, same rigor, different room. Logistics and travel are built into the conversation when we discuss this format.
03Tailored to your team's context
Every course is built around the actual team taking it. Before session one, I talk with someone who knows the group: their roles, their pain points, the apps they use most, what a successful outcome looks like. The module content shifts accordingly. (I've never run the same course twice in exactly the same way. The framework is consistent. The execution isn't.)
Why take this Copilot course for teams with me
I've been training organizations on Microsoft 365 Copilot since before most organizations had heard of it. 120+ organizations trained as of mid-2026 (mid-sized to enormous, across just about every sector you'd name: insurance, banking, healthcare, startups, retail, professional services, and more). Dozens of those courses and sessions run in English, over Zoom, for distributed and international teams.
I run a weekly AI newsletter (since early 2023), which means I test new Copilot features the week they ship, not when they show up in a vendor's training manual. What I teach is current. When Microsoft changes something (and they do, constantly), I update the material. You can read more about what I cover and how I think about it in the complete Microsoft Copilot guide.
I'm also direct about what I think honestly: there are parts of Copilot that are genuinely impressive and parts that are still rough at the edges (as of June 2026). I tell teams both. Training that pretends a tool is perfect doesn't build confidence, it builds confusion when the first imperfect output lands. Most people find that refreshing…
Real work, not toy examples
I ask teams to share real documents before the course starts. Contracts, reports, email threads, datasets. Copilot processes those in the session. When a participant sees Copilot handling content they recognize from their actual job, the learning sticks in a way it doesn't when you're watching someone summarize a fictional press release. (The documents are shared with sensitive content removed. I've never needed anything proprietary to make this work.)
Between-session support
The course doesn't disappear between sessions. If participants hit something confusing while they're using Copilot in the week between sessions two and three, there's a channel for that. Questions get answered. When session three starts, we pick up from where people actually are, not where the syllabus assumes they'd be.
Questions people ask before booking the course
What is a Microsoft 365 Copilot course, and how is it different from a workshop?
A Microsoft 365 Copilot course is a structured multi-session program, typically four sessions of 2-3 hours each, spaced over a few weeks. A workshop is a single session (usually 3-4 hours). The course gives participants time to actually use Copilot in their real work between sessions, bring questions back, and build skills that compound. A workshop gives you a foundation. A course gives you a habit change. If you're weighing both formats, the Microsoft Copilot workshop page walks through when a single session makes sense and when you need the full program.
Can the course run live online over Zoom in English?
Yes. Live online over Zoom is the default format, and English is available (and common: I've delivered dozens of these sessions in English for distributed and international teams). The course works very well online. Participants are at their computers, which is exactly where they use Copilot, and the interactive format (live demos, exercises, Q&A) translates fully to Zoom. If your team spans multiple time zones, we work out scheduling on the intro call.
How many people can take the course at once?
For a hands-on course where participants are doing real exercises in Copilot, I cap the group at 25 per cohort. Above that, it's not possible to give individuals the attention they need when they get stuck on an exercise. For larger organizations, I run the course in cohorts. If your organization is deploying Copilot at scale and wants to think through a multi-cohort rollout structure, take a look at the Copilot training for companies page for organizational-level formats.
What Microsoft 365 Copilot features does the course cover?
The core modules cover Copilot in Word, Outlook, Teams, Excel, and PowerPoint, plus prompting fundamentals and agents (the autonomous Copilot features that can work across data and take multi-step actions). The exact depth per app shifts based on which apps matter most to the specific team. The agents module reflects what's available in Microsoft 365 Copilot as of June 2026, which is meaningfully more capable than it was even six months ago.
Do participants need to have Copilot licenses before the course starts?
Ideally, yes. The course is built around participants working in Copilot on their actual accounts and real documents. That said, if licenses are in the process of being activated, it's worth having a conversation on the timing. In some cases, a preview cohort with early-access users runs first, and the broader course follows when licenses are live. We sort that out on the intro call.
