THE PROBLEM
Copilot Is Here - But Nobody's Shown You How to Actually Use It
Does this sound familiar?
Your organization rolled out Microsoft Copilot. Everyone's excited about "AI transformation." But nobody actually trained you on how to use it. You've clicked around, tried a few things, and... got mediocre results.
Meanwhile:
- You're still spending hours on tasks Copilot could handle in minutes
- You type vague prompts and get vague answers
- You're not sure when to use Copilot vs. doing it the "old way"
- Other assistants seem to "get it" while you're still figuring it out
- You're worried about looking behind if you ask basic questions
Here's the truth:
Copilot is powerful, but only if you know how to use it properly. Random experimentation and YouTube videos won't get you there.
You need structured, expert-led training that shows you exactly what to do.
THE SOLUTION
Microsoft 365 Fundamentals with Copilot
Microsoft Copilot is powerful — but only when it’s built on solid Microsoft 365 skills.
This four‑week live training programme is designed to help you understand how Microsoft 365 really works, then show you how Copilot fits into that environment to support your everyday tasks.
Rather than relying on trial and error, you’ll learn:
☑️how the Microsoft 365 apps connect,
☑️how Copilot works with your files, emails, meetings, and data,
☑️and how to use clear prompting and good structure to get reliable results.
Each session combines core Microsoft 365 fundamentals with practical Copilot use, so you are not just learning what Copilot can do, but why it works and when it makes sense to use it.
This approach means:
☑️beginners feel supported, not overwhelmed e
☑️experienced users fill the gaps they did not realise they had
☑️Copilot becomes a genuine productivity partner, not a source of frustration
By the end of the programme, you will be working more confidently across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams — with Copilot enhancing your work, not replacing your judgement.

"Shelley's teaching style is relaxed but engaging, she's happy to take questions & go over things more than once and in different ways to help you understand. If you need to get to grips with Copilot – whether it's because you want to or (worse) have to, then I can't recommend Shelley's course highly enough."

Frequently Asked Questions
I don't have Copilot yet. Should I still take the course?
You'll still gain valuable knowledge about AI concepts, prompt engineering, and Microsoft 365 best practices. Many participants use the course to understand what Copilot can do and make the business case for their organization to provide access. However, for the full hands-on experience, Copilot access is recommended. Some participants have successfully requested access after Module 1 once they understand the benefits!
What if I can't attend a live session?
Every session is recorded and available within 24 hours. You have lifetime access, so you can watch on your schedule and revisit anytime. Many participants watch recordings to review and reinforce learning. However, live attendance is encouraged for the best interactive experience.
I'm completely new to AI. Will I be lost?
Not at all! Module 1 starts with the absolute fundamentals. Shelley assumes no prior AI knowledge and builds your skills progressively. Her teaching style makes complex topics accessible. If anything, complete beginners often progress fastest because they don't have bad habits to unlearn!
I've used Microsoft 365 for years. Will I still learn something new?
Absolutely! Copilot changes everything about how you work with Microsoft 365. Even experienced users discover time-saving techniques and AI-powered features they never knew existed. Many "power users" report this course transformed their workflow completely.
Is there homework between sessions?
No formal homework, but you'll benefit most from practicing between sessions. We provide optional exercises and strongly encourage you to try techniques in your real work immediately - that's when the learning really sticks. The best results come from participants who experiment between modules.
What if Copilot doesn't work the way you show it?
Technology changes, and sometimes Copilot behaves differently across accounts or versions. We'll troubleshoot together during sessions and teach you problem-solving strategies. Plus, with lifetime recording access, you can always revisit solutions. Shelley stays current with updates and adjusts teaching accordingly.
Can my organization book this for our team?
Yes! We offer organizational pricing and can customize delivery for your team with flexible scheduling. Visit our Organizations page or contact us for group rates and bespoke options.
What's the time commitment?
2 hours per week for 4 weeks (8 hours total live training). Plus optional practice time between sessions - as little or as much as you want. Most participants find 20-30 minutes of practice between modules is enough to see real results.
Can I get a refund if it's not right for me?
If you attend Module 1 and feel the course isn't what you need, contact us within 24 hours for a full refund. We're confident you'll love it, but we want you to feel completely certain. No questions asked.
Do I need to be in the UK?
No! This is online training and we have participants from around the world. Session times are shown in GMT, but recordings mean you can watch from any timezone if live attendance doesn't work for you.
