Working Smarter with Microsoft Copilot: Practical AI for Everyday Work
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming the way we work. But how can you integrate AI into your daily tasks in a meaningful and responsible way?
In line with EWMD’s 2026 motto “Now. Build. Tomorrow. Together.”, this intensive one-day training invites participants to explore how AI can already support the way we work today while building the skills needed for the future of work.
During this practical training, participants will learn how to use Microsoft Copilot effectively within their everyday professional environment. Through concrete examples, clear prompt techniques and realistic business scenarios, you will discover how Copilot can become a valuable assistant across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
The focus of the training is hands-on learning and practical application. By the end of the day, participants will not only understand what Copilot can do, but also how to use it confidently and purposefully for their own work context.
Training objective
This training enables participants to use Microsoft Copilot confidently, efficiently and responsibly within their daily work environment. You will learn how to formulate effective prompts, understand the capabilities and limitations of AI tools, and apply Copilot in real business situations to increase productivity and support everyday tasks.
During the session you will work with Copilot in several Microsoft applications including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, Forms and Loop, mainly through the web interface where Copilot is optimized.
Key topics
-
Understanding what Microsoft Copilot is – and what it is not
-
Using Copilot across Microsoft 365 applications such as Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams
-
Structuring, summarizing and improving business content with AI
-
Analyzing and preparing data with Copilot
-
Prompt techniques that deliver reliable and useful results
Learning outcomes
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
-
Understand what Microsoft Copilot can realistically do today and where its limits are
-
Write structured prompts that produce reliable and useful results
-
Use Copilot effectively across Microsoft 365 applications such as Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams
-
As a result, participants will be able to start using Copilot in a focused and meaningful way within their own daily work environment
Target audience
This training is designed for knowledge workers across departments and industries, including specialists, managers, project workers, service professionals and teams already working with Microsoft 365.
Participants should already have, or plan to obtain by June 14th, a Microsoft 365 Copilot license for Work, as the training focuses on the practical use of the tool within the Microsoft environment and Copilot needs to synchronize with your data in order to work effectively during the training.
Requirements to attend the training
-
Have a laptop or desktop (access via phone is not recommended at all)
-
Have a stable internet connection
-
This training works only with a Microsoft Business account AND an active Microsoft Copilot Business license. This specifically refers to the Business version of Copilot. This means:
-
No personal Microsoft accounts, no Family accounts, and no free versions.
-
The training is designed entirely for a business context. Those who do not currently meet these requirements will only be able to participate in many exercises to a limited extent and will therefore derive significantly less value from the training.
-
Trainer
The training will be led by Beate Roos, AI & Beyond Consulting, an expert in practical AI applications for organizations and professionals who want to integrate AI tools responsibly and effectively into their workflows.
Certification
After completing the training, participants will receive a Certificate of Participation issued jointly by AI & Beyond Consulting, confirming their newly acquired skills in working with Microsoft Copilot.

Limited seats – secure your spot early
To ensure a highly interactive and hands-on learning experience, the training is limited to only 10 participants.
This small group format allows participants to work directly with the trainer, ask questions, and apply Copilot to real work scenarios throughout the day. Places are therefore very limited and expected to fill quickly.
In case of more than 10 applicants, an additional training date will be announced.
If you want to strengthen your AI skills and learn how to use Microsoft Copilot effectively in your daily work, we encourage you to secure your spot as soon as possible!
