Microsoft Copilot Training Courses

Microsoft Copilot is transforming how people work across the Microsoft 365 suite — and knowing how to use it effectively is quickly becoming an essential workplace skill. SkillForge's live Copilot training courses teach you practical prompting techniques and real-world use cases that deliver immediate productivity gains across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and more.

What our Copilot courses cover: Courses cover how Copilot works within Microsoft 365, writing effective prompts to get useful outputs, using Copilot to draft and refine documents in Word, analyze and summarize data in Excel, create presentation outlines in PowerPoint, manage and respond to email in Outlook, summarize meetings and action items in Teams, and generate content across the suite. We also cover governance, responsible AI use, and how to evaluate and edit Copilot outputs critically.

All courses are taught live by expert instructors in small groups, with hands-on practice in live Microsoft 365 environments. Available as public online sessions or private team training.

Copilot in Excel for Finance Professionals

If you're comfortable in Excel but have never used Copilot for the analysis you already do -- variance reviews, month-end reconciliations, budget tracking -- this course is where that changes. The course moves in a deliberate sequence: get comfortable with what Copilot can and can't do, then practice asking it plain-language questions about your own ledgers and budgets, then use it to write and debug formulas, then apply it to the finance workflows you run every month -- variance analysis, forecasting sanity-checks, scenario narratives, and month-end close support. Each stage builds on the one before it, so by the end of the four hours you have a repeatable way of bringing Copilot into your own recurring reporting cycle.

Using Copilot in Excel

If you've used Excel for years but have never touched Copilot -- or clicked the icon once and closed it again -- this course is where that changes. The course moves in a deliberate sequence: get comfortable with what Copilot can and can't do, then practice asking it plain-language questions about your own data, then use it to write and debug formulas, then turn raw numbers into charts and summaries you'd actually send to a colleague. Each stage builds on the one before it, so by the end of the four hours you're not just aware that Copilot exists -- you have a repeatable way of using it in your own recurring reports and lists.
