About this course
Microsoft Copilot is changing how work gets done. This beginner-level course shows you how to use AI tools effectively across your daily tasks so you can save time, improve output quality, and stay focused on what matters most. Designed for business professionals and anyone who uses Microsoft 365, it requires no prior AI experience. You will learn how to use Copilot across Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, starting with the basics of prompting and moving into content creation, communication, meeting support, and data analysis.
You’ll practice effective prompting techniques using Copilot Chat and Microsoft 365 Copilot, draft and refine emails and documents, prepare for meetings and capture action items in Teams, and analyze data and create presentations using natural language in Excel and PowerPoint. You’ll also learn to evaluate and refine AI-generated outputs for accuracy, tone, and relevance, and integrate Copilot into full workflows so you can use it as a collaborative teammate in your daily work.
