CompTIA Copilot 365 Essentials

Work Faster and Smarter with Microsoft Copilot

Instead of using AI by trial and error or typing simple one-line prompts, CompTIA Copilot 365 Essentials helps you build structured, confident, and responsible Microsoft Copilot skills for the real workplace.

This Microsoft Copilot course shows you how to apply Copilot across familiar Microsoft 365 apps (Word, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, and Teams) to draft content, summarize information, analyze data, build presentations, and handle repetitive daily tasks.

Through about 5–6 hours of interactive learning, you will develop skills you can apply immediately. You will also learn how to check AI output, protect sensitive information, and keep human oversight in every Copilot workflow.

After completing the course and passing the final assessment, you will earn a CompTIA CompCert digital certificate that you can share on LinkedIn or add to your resume and professional profile.
