Training

A first-of-its-kind national programme designed specifically for councils and public-sector organisations. We’re excited to launch the open and virtual Public Sector Copilot 365 Cohort, delivered in partnership with award-winning AI expert Heather Murray and delivered by her trainer, Nick Crawford.

This practical 12-week programme gives delegates the skills, confidence and hands-on experience they need to use Copilot 365 effectively across their day-to-day work.

Across 12 interactive, 90-minute live sessions, delegates learn how to get the very best out of Copilot across Word, Outlook, Excel, Teams, PowerPoint, OneNote and Copilot Chat plus getting to grips with agents and research. They will build a real Copilot-enabled solution to a live service challenge, helping their organisation turn Copilot licences into real value and impact.

This is a brilliant opportunity for councils and public-sector teams who want to build capability, accelerate adoption and grow internal champions who can inspire others.

What the programme includes
  • 12 × 90-minute live remote sessions
  • Hands-on, practical learning tailored to public-sector work
  • Real-world application through a live service challenge
  • Access to a year-long Basecamp learning community for shared ideas and peer support
Who it’s for
  • Anyone who has a full Copilot 365 licence including:
  • Officers, service managers, project leads, analysts, digital champions
  • Colleagues piloting Copilot or responsible for building capability across teams
  • Public-sector professionals who want to use AI confidently, safely and effectively
