AI Training

Train your team in the essential Microsoft AI skills of 2026

Imagine getting CoPilot and Microsoft AI to do exactly what you need.

And, getting it to do so consistently, every time you ask.

Not using it and getting generic or inaccurate results, but knowing exactly how to turn it into the ultimate assistant for your role and requirements.

How much time will you and your team save when you consistently get high-quality results, time and time again?

That’s what the 2-day “Upskilling in Microsoft AI” course, created for beginners, gives you and your team.

Held over 2 days on-site, this engagement is designed to take people with little or no experience and rapidly upskill them to get real ROI.

Increase your efficiency, get consistently better results, and understand how to make Microsoft AI your ultimate work partner.

For up to 10 attendees per session, we will get you and your teams up to speed and radically boost your ability to use tools like CoPilot and Power Automate.

These aren’t the generic sessions you are used to.

Dan will discuss your exact needs and talk you through how to get the right results from your tool.

Sessions use a workshop format, so group sizes are deliberately kept small to encourage attendees to engage and ensure they understand the practical applications of prompt engineering, not just the theory.
