Microsoft Copilot training: your team has the seats. They're not using them.

You are paying for Copilot seats that sit idle. We run a hands-on Copilot course for your team in Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams, built on the work they already do, at your office or online.

Microsoft Copilot

Sound Familiar?

You bought Copilot. Nothing changed.

Most Australian businesses activate Copilot licences, send a link to their team, and hope for the best. Here's what actually happens:

Licences Sitting Idle

Your team logged in once, tried a generic prompt, got a mediocre result, and went back to doing things manually. You're burning budget every month.

No Structured Rollout

Without role-specific training and clear use cases, people don't know what to use Copilot for. Adoption stalls with the few who were keen from the start.

Generic Training Didn't Stick

Microsoft's own tutorials and vendor webinars teach features, not workflows. Your team watched a demo and forgot everything by Friday.

What we do differently

Training built around your actual workflows

We don't teach Copilot features. We build practical workflows your team can use immediately in their real work.

Role-Based Playbooks

Every role gets a reusable prompt library built around their actual tasks, not generic demos. Finance, ops, sales, HR each get their own playbook.

Microsoft 365 Workflow Mastery

Hands-on sessions where your team builds workflows in Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Teams that they can repeat daily. No theory, just execution.

Governance Guardrails

Safe-use policies, quality review checkpoints, and clear escalation paths so leadership can roll adoption out without surprises.

Built into Copilot

The Copilot agents Microsoft already ships

Before your team builds an agent, it should know the ones that come built in. Researcher, Analyst and Facilitator come with the paid Copilot licence. For the others, what a person sees depends on their licence and on what your admin has switched on.

Researcher

Pulls information together for an in-depth question and cites its sources. In the session, people run it on a briefing they owe this month.

Analyst

Turns a spreadsheet or data set into insights and charts. Useful for finance and operations teams who live in Excel exports.

Facilitator

Takes notes in a Teams meeting, answers questions as it runs and helps keep the conversation on track.

Interpreter

Interprets speech in real time in Teams meetings, so each person can speak and listen in their own language. It supports up to nine languages.

Writing Coach

Gives feedback on tone, grammar and style in emails, reports and documents. It stays out of the side panel until someone adds it from the agent store.

Prompt Coach

Shows people how to structure a request so Copilot gives a more precise answer. A sensible first agent for a team that is new to Copilot.

Beyond the sidebar

Copilot agents and Copilot Cowork, built for your team

Asking Copilot a question is the first step. The hours come back when it runs the multi-step jobs your team repeats every week.

Copilot agents for repeat work

Agents built in Copilot Studio or Agent Builder, grounded on your SharePoint content: a policy answerer, a proposal drafter, an onboarding guide. Built in the session by the people who will own them.

Copilot Cowork, briefed properly

Cowork carries a task across Outlook, Word, Excel and Teams instead of answering one prompt. We show your team which jobs to hand it, how to brief it, and how to check the result before it goes anywhere.

Permissions before agents

An agent can read whatever the person running it can read. We walk your IT team through sharing, labels and restricted search first, so an agent does not surface a file nobody meant to share.

Copilot Studio training

Copilot Studio is Microsoft's tool for building your own Copilot agents. We train the people who will own them, hands-on, with agents grounded in your own SharePoint content.

The session covers how to point an agent at the right content and how to write instructions it follows the same way every time. Then we test it together before anyone else relies on it. Simple agents can be built in Agent Builder, inside Copilot itself. Copilot Studio is for the power users and IT staff who need more control than that.

Copilot Business vs Microsoft 365 Copilot in Australia (A$)

Microsoft sells the same Copilot two ways. Copilot Business is for organisations with up to 300 users on a Microsoft 365 Business plan. The enterprise add-on, still called Microsoft 365 Copilot on the Australian price list, is for larger organisations and enterprise plans. Copilot Chat sits underneath both and comes with eligible plans at no extra cost.

Copilot Chat

Included with eligible Microsoft 365 plans

  • Web-grounded chat, plus Copilot in Outlook and the Microsoft Copilot app.
  • Works on files a person uploads, not on their mailbox, chats or SharePoint.
  • Agents your organisation builds that read company data are billed by use, and need an Azure subscription.

Copilot Business

A$31.40 per user per month paid yearly, or A$37.68 monthly

  • For organisations with up to 300 users.
  • Adds to Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Standard or Premium, Apps for Business, or Teams Essentials.
  • Copilot grounded in each person's work data, with pre-built agents for research and data analysis.
  • Also sold bundled: Business Standard with Copilot at A$35.20, Business Premium with Copilot at A$47.90, per user per month paid yearly.

Microsoft 365 Copilot

A$44.90 per user per month paid yearly

  • For organisations above 300 users, or on enterprise plans.
  • Adds to a qualifying plan such as Microsoft 365 E3 or E5. Microsoft 365 E7 includes it.
  • Copilot in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams, with Researcher, Analyst and Facilitator.
  • Licensed users can build internal agents in Copilot Studio at no extra cost.

Microsoft's Australian list prices as at October 2026, excluding GST. On annual orders placed between 1 July and 31 December 2026, Microsoft lists Copilot Business at A$26.91 for the first year. Some advanced features, such as Copilot Cowork, are billed by use on top of the licence. Microsoft now calls the product Microsoft Copilot, but its Australian price list still uses the old names.

Under 300 people and already on a Business plan, Copilot Business is the lower list price for the same Copilot. Either way, run a pilot group on Copilot Chat first, buy paid seats for the roles that will use them, and train those people on their own documents before the renewal comes round.

“Attended a training session with AI Ready and found it really valuable. The content was clear, practical, and well-paced, with plenty of real-world examples that made it easy to see how to apply what we learned straight away. The trainer was knowledgeable and happy to answer questions throughout. Would definitely recommend to others looking to get up to speed on AI tools.”

“Fantastic AI training company - super patient with a bunch of beginners (so we did the first module, there are more advanced ones as you progress through), adapted the session to the room's pace, used language we could understand, explained the new world of AI and AI lingo in laymans terms and never lost patience. Could not recommend Brett and Andy more highly.”

“Jesse and Lachy were fantastic, they were super patient and clear with their instructions, and made sure everyone was feeling comfortable and on the same page before continuing through the content. The content itself was extremely transferable and I will certainly be taking what I’ve learned away from the sessions to begin experimenting with my new found skills. I would certainly recommend them as an AI trainer for anyone looking”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Neither is universally better. They are built for different jobs. Microsoft 365 Copilot is best when your team already works inside Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Teams and you want AI embedded directly in those apps with access to your tenant's data. ChatGPT is best for open-ended drafting, custom GPTs, image generation, and plugin breadth. Most teams we train end up using both: Copilot for in-flow work inside Microsoft 365, and ChatGPT for tasks that need breadth or a dedicated AI workspace.

Microsoft Copilot is Microsoft's AI assistant for work. By Microsoft's description, it combines large language models with your work data from Microsoft Graph and Microsoft 365, so it can draft, answer questions and analyse information using the email, files, chats and meetings a person can already open. It was called Microsoft 365 Copilot until Microsoft renamed it. Copilot Chat, which comes with eligible Microsoft 365 plans at no extra cost, answers from the web and from files people upload. The paid licence puts Copilot inside Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams, grounded in your organisation's data.

The built-in agents include Researcher, for in-depth research that cites its sources, and Analyst, which turns data into insights and charts. In Teams meetings, Facilitator takes notes and answers questions, and Interpreter interprets speech in up to nine languages. Writing Coach and Prompt Coach can be added from the agent store. Microsoft includes Researcher, Analyst and Facilitator with the paid Copilot licence. Copilot Chat users get simple agents grounded in public websites, and agents that read company data are billed by use. Our training covers the built-in agents first, then building your own.

Yes, in a specific sense. You can't fine-tune the underlying model yourself. What you can train is the context Copilot draws on: well-organised SharePoint and OneDrive content, clear file naming, clean Teams structure, and Copilot Pages or agents that bundle prompts, knowledge, and actions for specific business tasks. Our training walks teams through building Copilot agents, structuring grounding content, and designing prompts that reliably produce the outputs your business needs.

Copilot Cowork is Microsoft's way of having Copilot carry out a multi-step task across Microsoft 365 rather than answer a single prompt. Availability depends on your licence and tenant settings, so we check that on the discovery call. Where your team has it, AI 201 covers which jobs to hand it and how to review what it produces.

AI 101 is a half-day (4-5 hours). For deeper adoption, AI 201 runs 1 full day (split over 2 half-days if preferred). Both are delivered on-site at your office or virtually.

Team workshops start from $5,500 + GST for up to 8 people. Pricing scales with team size and customisation requirements. Book a free discovery call for a tailored quote. We'll map ROI before you commit.

Yes. We deliver via Zoom or Teams with the same hands-on approach, and remote works well for distributed teams. Delivered on site in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Darwin and Hobart, at your office or a venue, or online anywhere.

Every engagement includes governance guardrails, safe-use policies, review checkpoints, and clear guidance on what data is appropriate to use. Your CISO will approve our approach.

We assess skill levels before the session and structure exercises so everyone participates at their level. Beginners build confidence; experienced users discover advanced techniques.

Microsoft teaches features. We build workflows. Your team leaves with role-specific prompt libraries, reusable playbooks, and governance frameworks, not just knowledge of what buttons exist.

A partner-funded workshop is usually about planning: readiness, licensing, and where Copilot fits in your tenant. It is worth taking. This training is the step after it. Your people learn to use Copilot on their own documents, in the apps they already work in, and leave with prompts and agents for the jobs they repeat. The two fit together, in that order.

Microsoft says Copilot Business gives the same Copilot capabilities, licensed for organisations with up to 300 users on a Microsoft 365 Business plan. In Australia it lists at A$31.40 per user per month paid yearly, or A$37.68 monthly. The enterprise add-on, still called Microsoft 365 Copilot on Microsoft's Australian price list, is A$44.90 per user per month paid yearly and sits on a qualifying plan such as Microsoft 365 E3 or E5. Both prices exclude GST. Above 300 users, Microsoft points organisations to the enterprise licence.
