What do participants learn?
The training gives a concrete, practical picture of Microsoft 365 Copilot. Participants leave with an understanding of what Copilot can actually help with, how to write good instructions, and which situations call for extra care.
Copilot isn't a worse ChatGPT — it's a different tool
If you're used to ChatGPT or Claude, Copilot can feel less flexible at first. But in a work environment, Copilot has a different strength: its connection to Microsoft 365.
When you use Copilot in Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams and PowerPoint, the AI support sits closer to your documents, meetings, email and presentations.
In the training, Peter shows how to get more out of Copilot through better instructions, the right use cases, and smarter ways of working in the tools you already use.
Who is the training for?
The training suits employees and managers who use Microsoft 365 in their daily work. No prior AI knowledge is required. We start from the basics and build practical understanding step by step.
Common participants include administrative staff, finance teams, HR, sales, project managers and managers who want to understand how Copilot works in practice.
Copilot in Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams and PowerPoint
The training focuses on how Copilot is used in the Microsoft 365 tools where the work already happens: documents, spreadsheets, email, meetings, chats and presentations.
Hands-on parts of the training
After the training, participants can use Copilot to:
- Summarise meetings and Teams threads
- Create first drafts of documents in Word
- Edit and improve text
- Analyse and structure information in Excel
- Create material for presentations in PowerPoint
- Prioritise and draft replies in Outlook
- Write better instructions for Copilot
- Understand when Copilot fits better or worse than ChatGPT and Claude
Format
The training runs as a 2-hour introduction or a half-day with more time for hands-on exercises. It can be adapted to your business and your actual tasks.
Can be held online via Teams or on-site with you – depending on what suits your group.
Security and sensitive information
We go through what Copilot can see, how organisational data is handled, and how to work safely with confidential information. It's an important topic and always included.
When should you use Copilot — and when do other AI tools fit better?
ChatGPT and Claude can be strong when you want to reason freely, explore ideas, or work outside your company's Microsoft environment.
Copilot is especially useful when the work happens in Microsoft 365 — for example in meetings, email, documents, presentations and internal workflows.
The point isn't to pick one tool for everything. The point is understanding where Copilot fits best.
Outcome
Participants leave the training with a concrete understanding of how Copilot can be used in their day-to-day work — and know how to get more out of it in Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams and PowerPoint.
They also know when Copilot is actually the right tool compared to, say, ChatGPT or Claude.
