FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Practical questions about the Copilot course. Can't find yours? Ask it in a free intro call.
Who is the Copilot course for?
For anyone who works in Microsoft 365 and wants to work faster, from beginner to advanced. We train full teams, role groups such as sales, marketing or HR, or a mix. We tune the level and the examples to your group beforehand.
Is the course in person or online?
Usually in person at your office: the training is interactive and people share insights on the spot. Fully online or hybrid is fine too, for distributed or international teams. We decide the format together during the intro call.
How long does the training take?
Most organisations choose half a day of 3.5 to 4 hours per group, sometimes with a refresher a few weeks later. The exact length depends on your goals and level, which we set together in the intro call.
In which language is the course taught?
In English or Dutch, depending on your preference and the group. For international organisations we combine both: English sessions for overseas teams and Dutch ones for local teams, on site or online.
Do participants need a Copilot licence?
For the hands-on part, yes: people practise in their own environment, so a laptop with Microsoft 365 and an active Copilot licence is needed. No licences yet? Then we first advise on a sensible licensing strategy.
How quickly can we start?
After a free 30-minute intro call you receive a proposal within a few days. A first course is usually scheduled within two to four weeks, per team or role group, on site or online.
