Microsoft Copilot Training for
Business Teams:
In-Person, Practical, Tailored
fortysix ai delivers in-person Microsoft Copilot training for UK business teams. Sessions are available as ready-to-book half-day workshops or fully bespoke programmes built around your organisation's Microsoft 365 environment, workflows, and learning objectives. Every session begins with a 30-minute pre-session scoping call to shape the practical exercises around your team and tools. Training is led by Shannon, an ISO 42001 Lead Implementer and AI trainer, and is designed for non-technical teams. Both options include 30 days of follow-up support with two dedicated follow-up calls.
You Do Not Need Paid Licences to Get Started
One of the most common questions we hear is whether teams need to have Microsoft 365 Copilot paid licences in place before the training. The answer is no.
We can deliver a full day of training focused entirely on the free Copilot features available to your team right now. Getting started and building confidence is the key part. Once your team is comfortable with the free features, you are in a much better position to make an informed decision about whether the paid plan is right for your business.
Every fortysix ai training session begins with a 30-minute pre-session scoping call. This is where the exercises, practical tasks, and examples are shaped around your business, your team, and the tools you actually use. It means the session is relevant from the first minute, not generic.
The training itself is practical throughout. There are no slide decks full of theory. Participants work with real AI tools on real tasks relevant to their roles. Sessions cover how AI tools work and where they are genuinely useful, how to write effective prompts, how to evaluate AI outputs critically, and how to use AI responsibly within your business's policies and guidelines.
Both the Ready to Go and bespoke options include 30 days of follow-up support. This includes two dedicated follow-up calls, which are structured check-ins to address questions, review how the team is applying what they learned, and troubleshoot anything that has come up in practice.
What the Training Covers
The UK Government now offers free AI foundations training to every UK adult, and major tech companies including Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI all have free online academies. That is a good thing, as it means your team can access basic AI awareness at no cost.
But awareness is not the same as adoption. The gap between knowing AI exists and using it confidently in your specific business context is exactly where fortysix ai works.

About the Trainer
Shannon is an ISO 42001 Lead Implementer and AI trainer with 16 years of marketing and business consultancy experience, including training teams within FTSE 250 corporate businesses.

Her approach is human-centred, approachable, and engaging. The goal is to learn, have fun, and take practical skills away, not to sit through a boring PowerPoint presentation.
