Foundational level
Microsoft Copilot can help you write, summarise, analyse information and move work forward — but getting the best results requires more than simply asking it a question. This pathway explores how to use Copilot effectively across Microsoft 365, from creating better prompts and refining outputs to working with Copilot in Outlook, Word, Teams, Excel and PowerPoint. You'll learn how to make your instructions clearer, challenge Copilot's interpretations and check important information before relying on it. You'll also explore how to match the level of human review to the sensitivity and risk of the task, helping you use Copilot confidently while staying responsible for the decisions and outcomes that matter.
