Before you get started
Do you need a Microsoft 365 Copilot licence to take the course?
It is recommended. The Microsoft 365 Copilot licence lets you work with your organisation’s emails, files and meetings and use Copilot in Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. Without it, the course adapts to Microsoft Copilot Chat, already included in Microsoft 365 E3, E5 and Business subscriptions. For SMEs with up to 300 users, Microsoft also offers Microsoft 365 Copilot Business. Each participant needs a laptop, and the room a screen.
Can you use company or client data in Copilot?
Copilot works within your Microsoft 365 environment and respects existing permissions. The course covers confidentiality best practices; to frame data governance and nFADP compliance, a dedicated audit is recommended.
How long is the course and where does it take place?
One day, run over two half-days, on-site at your premises (remote available on request), for a group of up to ten participants.
Are there any technical prerequisites?
No. The course is designed for both technical and non-technical profiles. The prerequisites are practical: a Copilot licence, a laptop and an equipped room.
What is the difference with Microsoft Copilot Essentials?
Essentials is a short half-day format for a quick start. The Advanced course, over one day, covers everything in Essentials and adds a detailed walkthrough of the interface and the platform’s features (agents, add-ins, automation), with plenty of hands-on workshops. The two are independent: neither is a prerequisite for the other.
What do participants leave with?
You leave with a prompt library and a custom Copilot agent, built during the workshops.
