How long is each session?

Half a day. Four half-days in total, run as a programme rather than a one-off, so people have time to use what they learned before the next session.

Where do the workshops run?

At our offices in Eastwood, Nottingham. Everyone brings a laptop and works along with the session rather than sitting through slides.

This first run is a pilot, so it goes out at a reduced rate to the pilot group in exchange for honest feedback. Register your interest and we’ll come back with the rate and the dates.

Do we need Copilot licences already?

It helps, because people can practise on their own work. If you haven’t bought licences yet, tell us when you register — we can talk through what you’d need before the first session.

The people who actually do the work — not just IT. No technical background needed. If someone uses Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams every day, they are exactly who this is for.

Is the outline fixed?

The four sessions above are the shape of the programme. Content is still being finalised with the pilot group, so expect some flex — particularly in the final scenario session, which is built around what your team brings to it.

Microsoft Copilot Training Workshops

From curious to capable.

An hour of Copilot gets a room interested. Four guided half-days gets a team actually using it — on their own work, with their own files, in their own way of working.

4 half-day sessions · Eastwood, Nottingham · Laptops open, hands-on

Most teams have Copilot switched on and barely touch it. Not because it doesn't work — because nobody has ever sat down with them and shown them how to use it on the work they actually do.

That's what this is. Four half-day workshops at our offices, laptops open, guided from start to finish. People bring their own work and leave each session having done something with it. We're running the first cohort as a pilot group at a reduced rate — they help us prove the format, we help them get a genuine return out of the licences they're already paying for.

The programme

The foundation — four sessions.

Each one builds on the last, with time in between to put it into practice.

Foundational Training

Introduction to AI, LLMs and modern AI tools
Overview of the key concepts, in plain English
Security, compliance and governance, including the EU AI Act
Using Copilot across the Microsoft 365 apps you already have

Advanced Prompting

How prompt quality directly changes what Copilot gives you back
Prompt structures and techniques that hold up on real work
Hands-on exercises applying those techniques to your own tasks

Understanding AI Agents

What an AI agent actually is, and how agents extend Copilot
The different types of agent and how involved each one gets
Hands-on: everyone builds their first agent

Scenario Discovery Session

A collaborative workshop on your real business scenarios
Pinning down the practical Copilot use cases in your daily work
Where AI and automation could take work off your team

How it runs

Four sessions Half a day each, spaced out so people can use what they learn in between
Where Our offices in Eastwood, Nottingham
Format Laptops open, guided throughout — everyone takes part, nobody just watches
Group size Deliberately small, so people get answers about their own work

The pilot group

First cohort, reduced rate.

We're proving the format with a small first group, so it goes out at a reduced rate in exchange for honest feedback on what worked and what didn't. Register your interest and we'll come back with dates, the rate and how many seats we can hold for you. No commitment either way.
