Copilot Essentials in Microsoft Office (Udemy.com)

Master the power of Copilot Pro to improve your workflow across the Microsoft Office suite and boost your productivity.

Created by: Simon Sez IT

Last updated August 2026

Our take

Based on the ratings of 46,412 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in August 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

A one-hour tour of Copilot Pro inside Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Image Creator, made by Simon Sez IT and refreshed at the end of August 2026. It is twelve short lectures, one quiz, and a set of downloadable files to follow along with. The audience is office workers who have a Copilot subscription and want to know what the button actually does. It is not a prompt engineering course and it does not go deep on any single app. Think of it as a guided demo you can finish over lunch, then go try the features yourself.

Reviewers like that it's concise and clearly organized, and several call it a good opener for what Copilot can do across the apps. Two of the three-star reviews share one theme: Copilot moves faster than the video. Students report menus and features that have already shifted since recording, and one person on the M365 Copilot Premium plan found the screens hard to match. One wishes it covered installing Copilot in the first place, one was bothered by the presenter's repeated catchphrases, and one objected to an example prompt that asks the AI to reprimand an employee.

Value is where it stands out. Rated 4.5 by tens of thousands of students, it is paid but short, and it sits beside full-length Excel and Word courses on our list. Nobody will learn Excel here, but nobody is meant to. Reviewers describe the pace as quick, though one found the presenter's chatter distracting. Just expect to Google a couple of buttons that have moved, and skip it if Copilot is not switched on at work yet, because there is nothing to practice on.

Best forOffice workers with a Copilot subscription who want a fast tour of the features before trying them at their own desk.
Skip it ifYour workplace hasn't switched Copilot on yet, or you want prompt-writing depth in one app rather than a survey of five.

Pros

  • Covers Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Image Creator in about an hour, so it is easy to finish
  • Reviewers repeatedly call it concise, clear and to the point
  • Downloadable course files let students repeat each demo in their own apps
  • Updated August 2026, and the 4.5 rating comes from over 46,000 reviews

Cons

  • Copilot changes fast, and two reviewers found features already moved or accessed differently since recording
  • Does not show how to install or enable Copilot, and one M365 Premium user found the screens harder to follow
  • A survey, not a deep dive: no prompt-writing practice and only one quiz
The course is good overview into the copilot PRO. It is concise and to the point.

Genuinely beginner: no prior Copilot knowledge assumed, though a Copilot Pro licence and Microsoft 365 apps help to follow along.

I became a little lost in the "chatter" I understand that the instructor was trying to keep the students interested, but some of the "talking" was disinteresting and it kind of caused me to lose interest in what he was discussing, but the information was relevant and helpful.

By Yusniza Binti Mohd Yusof on 8/29/2026

Excellent course with well-organized content and practical insights. The lessons were clear, engaging, and highly relevant to my professional needs. I gained valuable knowledge and would definitely recommend this course to others.

By Caroline Musei on 8/13/2026

It is very clear, but because l don't feel confident with IT things l was a little insecure and felt as though it was too fast and wondered whether l would remember the little icons etc.

By Patrina Leung on 8/4/2026

The course was clear, well-structured, and easy to follow. The examples were highly relevant and helped me understand how to use Copilot Pro effectively in my daily workflow.

By Jatuporn Pupulpan on 7/29/2026

Great course! The content is concise, easy to understand, and supported by clear examples. The instructor explains everything well, making the course engaging and enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommended!

By Trần Đình Trường on 7/11/2026

Before this course, I had very little knowledge of AI. I often felt limited by my office skills, such as document design, formatting, and remembering formulas and functions. After learning about Copilot, I believe it can help me overcome many of these challenges and work more efficiently. This course has changed my perspective, and I am committed to learning Copilot seriously and making it an essential part of my daily work.

By Brian Catland on 7/1/2026

This was perfect for me. The course explained the abilities copilot has for the various Microsoft Office applications that will be very useful in my daily work.

By Grace Lee on 6/18/2026

This is indeed insightful to a beginner; it gives you idea of the possibility of how co-pilot may assist your day to day based on our own unique work requirement

By Kara Warsecke on 5/24/2026

So far this is a good match for my learning style. It is not overcomplicated and just long enough to get the key points across about how to use Co-Pilot in Word.

By Mildred Eykel on 5/15/2026

All the nitty details I haven't yet unpacked. I use Copilot daily in most of the M365 apps. I DID NOT know about the Copilot Labs :-) Lots learned so far and I am only in module 5.
