Training built specifically for PAs, EAs, VAs, and Administrative Assistants.
The Microsoft 365 foundations most people were never properly shown, plus the judgement to use Copilot well. Four live weekly sessions, built for assistants.
"Not only was Shelley's course extremely useful, but it's proving extremely valuable, with a very high rate of return on my investment in both time and cost. Turning to Copilot as a starting point has enabled more sophisticated, more effective spreadsheets to be created more quickly, for me and for my clients, and that has impacted my revenue in a positive way."
Colin Foster
Managing Director, Universal Solutions 4 Business
"The course gave me a much clearer understanding of the difference between Copilot as a standalone experience and Copilot within Microsoft 365 applications. My biggest takeaway was the importance of always checking the output. I would recommend having a good understanding of the core Microsoft applications beforehand, as this allows you to focus more fully on what Copilot can do."
Mark Whyley
Head of IT, Winvic
"If you don't know what Copilot can do, you can't ask the right questions. Now I know how to ask the right questions to get what I need."
Anna, Executive Assistant

No. You only need Microsoft 365 to begin. You will get even more from the live sessions with a full Copilot licence, but you can watch the recordings and apply everything whenever you are ready, including if you add Copilot later.
Session recordings are added to your course, so you can catch up in your own time..
Live on Microsoft Teams, in four 90-minute weekly sessions. The dates and times for the next cohort are shown above.
