Overview

Copilot 365 Essentials is a 5 to 6-hour, hands-on course for non-technical knowledge workers who need to use Microsoft Copilot effectively in daily work. Learn to prompt with context, verify outputs, protect sensitive information, and apply Copilot across Microsoft 365 workflows, then validate your skills with a CompTIA CompCert. 

Rather than focusing only on features within individual apps, the course emphasizes Copilot as a workflow partner. Learners develop mental models for how Copilot generates outputs, how context (files, meetings, emails, web vs. work mode) shapes results, and where human oversight is required. The course directly addresses common enterprise risks such as hallucinations, overconfidence, inappropriate data handling, and over-reliance.

Through realistic workplace scenarios in Copilot Chat, Word, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, and Teams, learners practice drafting, summarizing, analyzing, and refining work products. They learn how to structure effective prompts, iterate using follow-up instructions, verify outputs, and intentionally choose when and how to apply Copilot.

Skills Covered

  • Use Copilot responsibly and safely at work: Build judgment for using Copilot in enterprise settings. Learn what it can and cannot do, when to use it, how to spot hallucinations, and why human verification matters before acting on outputs.
  • Prompt effectively and iteratively with Copilot: Write clearer prompts with goals, context, and expectations. Practice improving results with follow-up prompts, revising outputs, and breaking complex tasks into smaller, manageable requests.
  • Use context and modes to boost the effectiveness of Copilot: Understand how Web mode, Work mode, and referenced files, emails, or meetings affect output quality. Learn when to search, continue a chat, or start a new one for better results.
  • Work across core Microsoft 365 apps with Copilot: Apply Copilot across Word, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, and Teams through workplace scenarios. Practice drafting, rewriting, summarizing, analyzing data, and supporting collaboration.
  • Leverage prebuilt Copilot agents and reusable workflows: Use Researcher for guided research, Analyst for structured data analysis, and the People Agent to find recent work from colleagues. Learn to save prompts and build repeatable workflows.
  • Verify, refine, and scale outputs responsibly: Strengthen your ability to review Copilot outputs before using them at work. Practice verifying results, refining responses, protecting sensitive information, and supporting consistent, accountable use.
