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:
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.
Microsoft Copilot is powerful â but only when itâs built on solid Microsoft 365 skills.
This fourâweek 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, youâll learn:
âď¸how the Microsoft 365 apps connect,
âď¸how Copilot works with your files, emails, meetings, and data,
âď¸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:
âď¸beginners feel supported, not overwhelmed e
âď¸experienced users fill the gaps they did not realise they had
âď¸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 â with Copilot enhancing your work, not replacing your judgement.

â Organise and format Excel data so it is easier to analyse and understand
â Use Copilot in Excel to explore data, generate charts, and get helpful insights
â Know when Copilot adds value, and when traditional Word or Excel features are the better choice
We begin by strengthening the foundations that make presentations easier to build and maintain, then explore how Copilot can support content creation, slide improvement, and visual design.
By the end of Module 3, you will:
â Understand how PowerPoint really works behind the scenes, including layouts, themes, and templates
â Feel more confident creating and updating presentations without breaking formatting

This module brings everything together, showing how Copilot fits into your dayâtoâday workflow across Microsoft 365.

"I can't recommend Shelley's course highly enough"
"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 â whether it's because you want to or (worse) have to, then I can't recommend Shelley's course highly enough."

âIâve become the go-to person for AI at workâ
"This course has benefitted me enormously in becoming the go-to person for all things AI with colleagues. I learned an awful lot in these four sessions with Shelley across Microsoft 365 and can better visualize how to use it on a daily basis.
Shelley uses clear examples on how to incorporate it in daily work, and not only that but the access to the recordings and the additional documents is invaluable, thank you so much again Shelley!"
