Empower your workforce with Microsoft Copilot is a free beginner course from Microsoft Learn, online. It ends with a free badge. Microsoft Learn doesn't say how long it takes.
Made for teams that already have Microsoft 365 Copilot and want role-by-role exercises for sales, HR, finance, marketing, legal and more. What stands out: it is organised by job rather than by feature. The training is free, but the exercises need a Microsoft 365 Copilot licence, plus OneDrive access and basic Microsoft 365 experience. Duration isn't stated. For a longer, structured course, try Microsoft 365 with Generative AI Professional Certificate on Coursera.
Role-by-role exercises for using Microsoft 365 Copilot in executive, sales, IT, marketing, finance, HR, operations, communications, customer service and legal scenarios.
