Duration: Approximately 90–180 minutes Format: Live online session led by an instructor, including practical exercises Course Overview This course delivers a practical, in-depth look at Microsoft Copilot as it functions inside Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Rather than focusing on basic AI theory, it emphasises real-world productivity improvements within the Microsoft 365 apps people use daily. Participants will discover how Copilot can act as a writing aide, data assistant, and presentation collaborator — supporting faster document creation, clearer data analysis, and more polished presentations. The programme combines core skills (prompting, refining, and checking outputs) with more advanced, real-life workflows that reflect how Copilot is developing, so the learning remains relevant and usable right away. Learning Objectives By the end of the course, learners will be able to: Use in-app Copilot confidently in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint Craft effective prompts suited to each application’s capabilities and limits Generate, edit, summarise, and organise professional documents in Word Examine, interpret, and reshape data in Excel using Copilot insights Develop and enhance presentations in PowerPoint with Copilot as a creative aid Recognise when Copilot speeds up work and when human judgement is required Follow best practices to improve quality, accuracy, and efficiency Target Audience This course is suited to: Professionals and managers who work with Microsoft 365 regularly Business users aiming to boost productivity in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint Teams moving from basic awareness to hands-on Copilot use Organisations introducing Copilot and looking for structured training Prerequisites Basic working knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint Access to Microsoft 365 Copilot features within the apps No prior AI or prompt-writing experience needed
