For some courses. 6 of the 19 Microsoft Copilot courses we list need a paid tool licence or subscription to take part, such as Agent in a Day - Online workshop from Microsoft and Draft, Analyze, and Present with Microsoft Copilot (MS-4018) from Microsoft. They are tagged "Licence needed"; the others work without one.
Microsoft's own training on Microsoft Learn is free, such as Draft, Analyze, and Present with Microsoft Copilot (MS-4018) and Empower your workforce with Microsoft Copilot. UK providers also run paid Copilot courses, such as Creating Copilot Studio agents from Wise Owl.
Microsoft's free Work smarter with AI covers the basics: generative AI, grounding, when agents help and responsible use. Empower your workforce with Microsoft Copilot then gives role-by-role exercises, which need a Microsoft 365 Copilot licence.
