Saving Time with Copilot
$470
Overview
This four-hour workshop is designed as a Learning in Action experience. Participants will explore Copilot’s capabilities and actively practice using it in realistic workplace scenarios. Each workshop segment follows a consistent cycle: a short demonstration of the capability, a hands-on case study activity, and a quick share-back to reinforce what worked, what to refine, and how to validate outputs.
Using a single end-to-end project scenario throughout, participants will create practical artefacts as they move across Word, Teams, Outlook, Excel, and PowerPoint. from drafting and refining documents, to summarising and coordinating work, to analysing data and presenting insights. By the end of the session, participants will have a repeatable approach to prompting and iteration, greater confidence using Copilot in their daily tools, and a clear understanding of how to apply Copilot responsibly and effectively in real work.
This course is designed and delivered by Swinburne Edge.
