Microsoft 365 Copilot, checked by hand
What do you want to do?
On-page practice needs no provider account. Choose a task, read its prerequisite, and start with the supplied cases.
For knowledge workers in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams: which Copilot you actually have, how to write a prompt it can ground, how to check a draft, a chart or a meeting recap before it leaves your hands, and how to propose agents and governance your organisation can defend. Every module is a bench of instruments you operate on an invented company, then a field exercise on practice files you made for it.
Three belts, one habit: check the grounding before you trust it
White belt learns which Copilot you have, how a prompt is built and what Copilot does in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams. Brown takes it into analysis, drafting, decks, meetings and mail you would actually send. Black chains the apps, builds agents in Copilot Studio, engineers prompts for a team and puts governance around all of it. Explore in any order; the belt states below say what you have actually done.
