For someone who is not necessarily AI savvy, Nick made everything very easy to understand even those things that I will not necessarily interact with in Copilot. He made each section short concise and to the point so there was not information overload. I learned a lot on the app integration pieces which I can definitely now start testing thanks to this course. Thanks Nick!

The course was very well laid out with great visual charts and diagrams to ensure understanding of the material. The instructor was very well prepared and versed in the subject and not hard to listen to.

It’s great to see how Copilot can assist and enhance our work. The course was good, offering valuable insights into practical use cases for Copilot and key considerations to keep in mind when implementing it in your environment.
By Magdalena Mazek on 12/12/2024
Great to see what Copilot can do/help us with and how we can use points of reference but missing the part which explains different ways of linking that reference in our prompt eg. when to use / and when to use @design (couple I noticed being used in this training video)

Right to the point! If you are not interested in a section you can fast forward or simply skip. Exactly what I was hoping for. I was targeting Data Security and Compliance overview and Nick covered it beautifully! Keep up the good work Nick and don't loose your motivation. I discovered your work with a de-federation guide for M365 syndicated services and moved tens of companies following that guide away from it. Thanks again!

Being new to copilot, found this course very interesting. Topics covered offer good information and presented in a way I found easy to watch. Particularity enjoyed the section on data security and compliance. Overall good course and would recommend.
By Richard Jonker on 6/14/2024
Too long, using a whiteboarding technique to explain simple AI concepts that could have been 3 ppt slides. We don't need the half an hour explaining IT how to managed Copilot for their users. I don't need a training for an IT admin how to extract information from a user database
By Summer LINDSAY on 5/21/2024
The course provided a thorough overview of the functionality, enriched with examples of prompt engineering, realistic scenarios, and practical tips. It was well-structured and nicely presented. I would highly recommend it to others starting to work with MS Copilot. The rating is based on everything up to the last section, which was tailored for those with administrator access, so I'm unable to provide feedback on that particular segment.
By Sergio Londono on 3/27/2024
