Training Programme — Proposed Agenda
AI Security & Awareness : Fundamentals of Microsoft Copilot & Responsible Use
9 modules
Any team
Fundamentals level
AI adoption has outpaced AI guidance.
Across most organisations, employees have already folded AI tools like Microsoft Copilot into their daily work — drafting emails, summarising documents, building reports — long before any formal guidance arrived. That gap is where the risk lives.
This programme closes it. It’s a practical, hands-on session that teaches people how to get genuinely useful results from AI, while drawing a firm, clear line around what should never be typed into it — personal data, confidential material, anything regulated.
Delivered at Fundamentals level, the course is built for every employee, regardless of role or technical background — with a natural next step into a deeper, function-specific Intermediate programme for teams who want to go further.

Course Outline
A three-stage journey: learn the tool, apply it, protect the business.
Nine modules, structured so each stage builds on the last — from hands-on fluency, through real workplace use, to the judgement and guardrails that keep AI use safe.

STAGE I
Learn the Tool
Building fluency with the platform and the craft of asking well.
Maximising Microsoft Copilot
Tips, shortcuts, and proven approaches for getting the most out of the platform in everyday workflows.
The Art of Prompting
How to craft clear, purposeful instructions that consistently produce accurate, high-quality AI outputs.
STAGE II
Apply It at Work
Turning fluency into everyday output, function by function.
Real-World Applications by Business Function
Hands-on use cases tailored to Finance, HR, Operations, Sales, and other relevant teams.
AI as a Productivity Multiplier
Practical demonstrations of how AI can streamline email drafting, report writing, document creation, data interpretation, and task management.
STAGE III
Protect the Business
The judgement, boundaries, and policy every user needs before they start.
Pitfalls to Avoid
A breakdown of the most common errors users make when working with AI tools, and how to sidestep them.
Understanding AI’s Boundaries
What the technology can and cannot do, and why human review and validation of AI-generated content is non-negotiable.
Using AI Responsibly Inside Your Organisation
Ethical considerations, internal policies, and the behaviours that define a trustworthy AI user.
Information Boundaries — What Stays Off the Platform
Clear guidance on the categories of data that must never be entered into AI systems, including personally identifiable information, confidential business data, commercially sensitive material, and regulated content.
Compliance, Privacy & Data Governance
How data protection legislation and organisational policy intersect with AI use, and what every employee needs to know before they start.
About the Fundamentals-level modules
About the Fundamentals-level modules Modules marked Fundamentals are covered at a high level, giving every attendee a working understanding regardless of role. Where a client wants to go deeper — with function-specific exercises and extended practice — these two modules can be quoted and delivered separately as part of our Intermediate Level Training, offered as an option alongside this programme.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the session, attendees will:
01
Use Copilot and everyday AI tools with real fluency
Confident, efficient use of the platform in day-to-day tasks — not just awareness of its existence.
02
Write prompts that consistently work
A repeatable approach to instructing AI that produces accurate, usable output the first time.
03
Apply AI directly to their role
Concrete techniques for their own function — Finance, HR, Operations, Sales, and beyond.
04
Know where the line sits
A clear, working sense of what must never be entered into an AI system, and why human review still matters.
Delivery

Frequently Asked Questions
Good to know before you register.
Who should attend this training?
Anyone using AI tools like Microsoft Copilot in their day-to-day work — no prior AI experience or technical background is required.
Is this suitable for a mixed audience across departments?
Yes — the Fundamentals level is designed to work across Finance, HR, Operations, Sales and other functions in a single session, with real-world examples drawn from each.
What's the difference between Fundamentals and Intermediate?
Fundamentals gives every attendee a working, high-level grasp of all nine modules. Intermediate goes deeper into the applied, function-specific modules with extended exercises — it’s quoted separately and best suited to teams who’ve already completed Fundamentals.

On-site or virtually, in a single instructor-led session — let us know your preference when you register interest and we’ll confirm what works best for your team.
Can we request a group quotation?
Yes — HR and L&D managers can request a quotation for one or multiple groups. Get in touch and we’ll scope it around your headcount and preferred format.
