Generative AI and Copilot Foundations

Starting from the basics

This course is built for people who hear about generative AI at work and want a grounded explanation before adopting it. It opens with what the technology is and how it produces output, then moves to why it matters for business decisions.

Copilot in the workplace

Microsoft Copilot sits at the centre of the lessons, with attention to Microsoft 365 and Teams. The course also looks at process questions such as which tasks to hand to an assistant, how to check its results, and who stays accountable for the outcome.

Why it is worth a look

• A clear mental model of generative AI for non-specialists
• Guidance on delegating work to AI and verifying what comes back
• Responsible-use habits that apply across roles

It is a reasonable first course for managers and team members who need shared vocabulary before wider rollouts.
