Why this course
A licence on every desktop isn't adoption.
Every module addresses the real blockers we've encountered in New Zealand businesses: capability cracks, confidence issues, and the gap between access and meaningful adoption. You'll work through realistic scenarios with Sarah, CEO of the fictional Harbourview Group, as she demands efficiency and quality in equal measure.
Capability cracks.
Copilot is switched on, but skills vary wildly across the team. A few power users carry the load while everyone else taps the surface.
Confidence issues.
People worry about trusting the output, breaking something or looking silly. So they quietly go back to the old way of working.
Access without adoption.
A licence doesn't change how work gets done. Meaningful adoption takes scenarios, practice and proof, which is exactly what this course is built on.

The curriculum
Three modules, from fundamentals to agents.
Work through the course in your own time. Start, complete a task, pause, continue until you're done.
Copilot Basics.
Generative AI foundations, safety, and prompting with purpose. Get the fundamentals right so every later module lands, and so Copilot is used confidently and responsibly from day one.
Copilot Essentials.
Document creation, communication, data collection and storytelling. The everyday workflows where Copilot starts paying for itself, applied to scenarios you'll recognise from your own week.
Copilot Advanced.
Deep research capabilities and real business applications, through to building custom agents. This is where proficiency turns into a genuine productivity edge.

What you leave with
Finish certified, not just informed.
"I recently attended the Copilot training with New Zealand AI, and it was an excellent experience. Ben was a great facilitator, the session was clear, easy to follow, and provided practical skills we can immediately apply. It's given us a strong foundation to start practising and improving our productivity. I would recommend it for anyone looking to build confidence and efficiency with AI tools."
