Put Copilot to work.

Turn the Microsoft 365 licence you already pay for into real time back each week. Five short lessons for staff and managers: triage your inbox and draft replies in Outlook, get meeting recaps and action items in Teams, draft and summarise in Word, build a deck in PowerPoint, and get answers out of Excel by just asking. Plain English, no jargon, with a human kept on anything that matters.

For the staff and managers who already live in Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Teams, and want that licence finally earning its keep. Real time saved, no jargon, and a human kept on the things that matter.

What you'll learn
Lesson 1 What Copilot is, and where it lives Copilot is an AI helper built into the Microsoft 365 apps you already use. A clear picture of what it is, which apps it sits in, what it does well, and the handful of things it can't do, so you start with the right expectations. 6 min
Lesson 2 Outlook and Teams: your inbox and meetings The two apps where Copilot pays off fastest. Triage a busy inbox, draft replies in seconds, and walk out of every meeting with a recap and a clear list of who's doing what by when. 8 min
Lesson 3 Word and PowerPoint: drafts and decks First drafts, rewrites and summaries in Word, and a starter slide deck built from a document in PowerPoint. How to get a strong starting point fast, then make it sound like you. 8 min
Lesson 4 Excel basics with Copilot Spreadsheets without the dread. Ask plain-English questions of your data, get a summary, build a simple formula, and spot the trend in the numbers, no jargon and no macros required. 7 min
Lesson 5 Good prompts, safe use, and your 90-day plan The simple prompt recipe that lifts every answer, what not to paste, keeping a human on anything that matters, and a calm plan to roll it out across your team over 90 days. 6 min

Work through them in order. The single way in is lesson 1.

Before you start.

Is the course really free?
Yes, completely. All five lessons are free to read with no sign-up. If you'd like the fill-in workbook to plan your rollout with your team, that's a quick email, and that's the only thing asked for anywhere on here. There's a free one-page summary too, with nothing asked for.
Who is this for?
Staff and managers in a business that uses Microsoft 365, whether you're brand new to this or just never had the time to get the most out of Copilot. No technical background needed. We keep it plain and practical the whole way.
Do I need a Copilot licence to follow along?
To actually use Copilot inside the apps you'll need it switched on for your account, which is usually a paid add-on your business sets up. You can read and learn the whole course without one, and the lessons help you decide whether it's worth turning on.
How long does it take?
About 35 minutes all up, across five short lessons. Read it in one sitting or one lesson at a time, whatever suits.
Will it go out of date as Microsoft changes things?
The menus and buttons move around, so the course sticks to what lasts: where Copilot helps, how to ask it well, and how to keep a human on anything that matters. We steer clear of exact pricing and menu names that change month to month.
Is this just a sales pitch?
No. It's the same honest advice JDCS would give in a conversation, written down, so you and your team walk away genuinely more capable. If you later want a hand rolling Copilot out properly, the first conversation is free and you keep the plan either way.
When you're ready

Want Copilot rolled out properly across your team?

Once a few people have tried it, the next step is getting the whole team using it well: the right jobs to start with, simple prompt habits, and clear rules for what stays out. That first conversation is free, and you keep the plain-English plan either way.
