Overview

Beyond Prompts: Practical Microsoft Copilot for Real Work is a hands-on introduction to using Microsoft Copilot across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem to enhance everyday knowledge work. Rather than focusing on theoretical AI concepts, this course shows learners how Copilot fits into real workflows—drafting documents, analyzing data, building presentations, managing communication, and summarizing collaboration activity.

Participants will explore Copilot in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, SharePoint, and Teams, while learning when to use Work Copilot versus Web Copilot. The course also introduces Copilot Agents in Teams, enabling learners to connect organizational data and publish purpose-built AI assistants. By the end of the course, learners will confidently apply Copilot to save time, improve quality, and work more strategically—without needing a technical background.
