O pacte Office ja era essencial na nossa jornada de trabalho agora com Microsoft Copilot ficou aperfeiçoado
By Anonymized User on 6/11/2026
Die behandelten Themen waren teilweise zu oberflächlich. Eine stärkere Vertiefung einzelner Inhalte wäre wünschenswert gewesen. Positiv hervorzuheben ist jedoch die Vorstellung sinnvoller Alternativen zu Copilot und ähnlichen Lösungen. Der Blick über den Tellerrand hinaus, war erfrischend und hat den Kurs angenehm bereichert.
By Anonymized User on 4/20/2026
Well covered and I especially liked where pros and cons were described across all the options and choices discussed.
By Andreas Raschke on 3/25/2026
Ja, obwohl ich vorher den Kurs von Microsoft absolviert habe, ist es eine gute Wiederholung, die das Verständnis fertigt und vertieft. Leider sind 2026 viele Funktionen in Copilot bereits überholt, z.B. ersetzen Agents die GPTs. Daher sollte man einiges überspringen.
By Gustavo Vieira on 3/12/2026
Superou minhas expectativas com os vídeos mostrados pelo facilitador, isso é de extrema relevância para o aprendizado.
By Eloise Lanaud on 2/25/2026
Als AI/Copilot Einsteigerin habe ich mit diesem Kurs viel gelernt. Schritt für Schritt Arnie zeigt uns das wichtigste über Copilot und generell über AI.
By Jucara Barreto on 2/24/2026
Na verdade eu nao espero nada e ao mesmo tempo tenho a expectativa de aprender tudo, por tanto nao tenho nada a reclamar, adorei saber sobre Copilot nas ferramentas, isto explica o que eu ja tinha visto.
By Suelem Sales on 2/24/2026
Sim, era o que eu esperava, porém visualizando por uma forma ampla e geral, muita gente vai ficar desempregada.
By Jullia Nunes on 2/20/2026
Sim, pois superou as minhas expectativas, a frase temos que aprender a manusear a IA, ou toda ferramenta que irá otimizar nossa trabalho, para valorizarmos nosso tempo, me impactou e me fez refletir em como posso melhorar cada vez mais para a manusear.
By Nathan O'Sullivan on 12/28/2025
This is beginner basic level short course. I took it as my company is mostly using msft apps and I want to see how much a paid subscription for co-pilot would potentially increase my productivity. It also fits well with my CpD requirement as a finance professional. There is not much practical example-based learning. Understandable for a short course. That said, I enjoyed it and it has given me good context for what co-pilot and its competitors offer now (Dec2025) and will likely offer in the future. I recommend the course.
