Requirements

  • A Microsoft 365 Copilot license (the paid add-on) is recommended to follow along with every feature hands-on. Several early lessons also work on the free Copilot Chat tier.
  • Access to Microsoft 365 with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams, either the desktop apps or the web versions.
  • Basic comfort with Office. If you can create a document, build a simple spreadsheet, and send an email, you have everything you need.
  • No prior AI or Copilot experience required. We start from absolute zero and build up step by step.
  • A willingness to follow along with your own files and try the prompts as you watch. This is a hands-on, do-it-with-me course, not a lecture.

Description

Microsoft 365 Copilot is the biggest change to office work in years. But most people only scratch the surface, because nobody ever showed them how to use it properly. This course fixes that.

This is a practical, hands-on Microsoft Copilot course built for office professionals, not for developers and not for IT admins. If you spend your day in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams, you will learn exactly how to turn Copilot into a teammate that saves you hours every single week and helps you produce noticeably better work.

You will master Microsoft 365 Copilot across every core app:

  • Copilot in Word: draft, rewrite, summarize, and transform documents in seconds

  • Copilot in Excel: analyze data, generate formulas, and build PivotTables and charts using plain English

  • Copilot in PowerPoint: turn a document into a polished, presentation-ready deck in minutes

  • Copilot in Outlook: tame your inbox, summarize long threads, and draft replies that sound like you

  • Copilot in Teams: capture meeting recaps, extract action items, and catch up on busy channels fast

  • Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat: your cross-app command center for grounded, multi-source work

From there, we go into the 2026 frontier: Copilot Notebooks, Copilot Pages, Think Deeper extended reasoning, and building your own no-code Copilot Agents in Copilot Studio.

At the heart of everything is prompt engineering, the single highest-leverage skill in the AI era. You will learn a simple, repeatable framework, the RICE method (Role, Intent, Context, Expected output), plus grounding, the technique that lets you reference your own files, people, and meetings so Copilot works from your real data instead of guessing.

What makes this course different is how it is taught. Every lesson follows one connected, realistic business scenario: a simulated B2B software company preparing for a major funding round. You will not sit through abstract feature demos. You will follow real workflows, real documents, and real decisions, so your skills compound from the very first lesson all the way to a full capstone project.

The course is completely up to date as of the March 2026 Microsoft Copilot release, with the current interface, current feature names, and honest "real talk" moments about what Copilot still cannot do.

By the end, you will have your own Copilot playbook and the confidence to cut hours off your week, every week. If you are ready to stop reading about AI and actually start using it at work, enroll today and let's get started.
