Microsoft 365 Copilot Trainings

Microsoft 365 Copilot: generative AI integrated into your office suite

Microsoft 365 Copilot, launched in November 2023 then progressively opened to companies, marks the most visible turning point of generative AI in office automation. The Copilot assistant is now built directly into Word (writing, rewording, summarisation), Excel (analysis, formulas, PivotTables), PowerPoint (slide generation from a Word document or a brief), Outlook (thread summaries, draft replies, meeting scheduling) and Teams (meeting summaries, transcriptions, suggestions). In Geneva, Lausanne and across French-speaking Switzerland, private banks, international organisations, hospitals, public services and industrial companies progressively deploy Microsoft 365 Copilot in their teams to transform daily productivity.

ITTA has been a training organisation and offers a catalogue dedicated to Microsoft 365 Copilot covering both end users (effective prompt writing, product-specific best practices) and IT administrators (governance, deployment, Microsoft Purview security, data access management via Microsoft Graph). Our trainers are certified trainers and actively support Copilot deployment at Swiss clients, which guarantees pedagogical content aligned with production feedback.

Following a recognised Microsoft 365 Copilot training enhances your profile on the French-speaking Swiss market, particularly in functions where writing, analysis and communication are central: executive assistants, management controllers, HR, lawyers, communication, marketing, executives. For IT administrators, mastery of Copilot governance becomes a structuring topic at tenant scale.

Whether you are a Microsoft 365 user discovering Copilot, a manager wishing to deploy AI in your team, internal trainer, HR, lawyer or IT administrator, our training in Geneva and Lausanne provides the practical methods to leverage Microsoft 365 Copilot from your next documents, presentations and meetings.

Microsoft 365 Copilot for IT administrators

For Microsoft 365 administrators, Copilot deployment raises structuring questions: licence governance, data access management via Microsoft Graph, Microsoft Purview security configuration, information classification, sensitivity labels, usage audit. Our Microsoft 365 administrator training (MS-102, MD-102) and Microsoft Security Compliance progressively address Copilot governance.

Copilot Studio and custom agents

Copilot Studio (formerly Power Virtual Agents) opens the creation of business conversational agents integrated with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams. Low-code oriented profiles can follow dedicated Copilot Studio training complementing the no-code development sub-domain (Power Platform).

The Microsoft 365 Copilot ecosystem and companion products

Microsoft 365 Copilot fits into an extended family of Microsoft AI assistants: GitHub Copilot for developers, Azure OpenAI Service for cloud workloads, Microsoft Sales Copilot for Dynamics 365, Microsoft Security Copilot for SOC teams. Most of these products share a common technological foundation (Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Graph, Microsoft Purview) which makes Copilot mastery transposable between families. For the cloud dimension, the cloud computing sub-domain covers Azure AI (AI-102) and Azure data (DP-203) certifications. For the low-code dimension, the no-code development sub-domain covers Power Platform and Copilot Studio. For advanced office usages, the office automation and messaging and organisation sub-domains cover the tools where Copilot integrates.

Microsoft 365 Copilot trends in 2026

Microsoft 365 Copilot evolves rapidly in 2026. Custom Copilot agents (Copilot Studio) enable the deployment of role or team-specific assistants, with internal data sources via Microsoft Graph Connectors. Governance via Microsoft Purview consolidates to meet GDPR and nFADP requirements of Swiss organisations. Multimodal features (text, voice, image) gain maturity. The connection between Copilot and internal data sources (SharePoint, OneDrive, Dynamics 365, business applications via Power Platform) becomes a differentiation axis. Our pedagogical content regularly integrates these evolutions to remain aligned with current deployment practices.

FAQ

Is Microsoft 365 Copilot included in all Microsoft 365 licences?

No. Microsoft 365 Copilot is an additional licence to activate complementing Microsoft 365 Business Standard, Business Premium, E3 or E5 licences. The price and activation conditions vary according to your organisation’s Microsoft contract. Our pedagogical team guides you on the conditions to check before deployment.

Is Microsoft 365 Copilot compliant with GDPR and nFADP?

Microsoft 365 Copilot benefits from a governance and confidentiality framework aligned with European GDPR and Swiss nFADP requirements. Data processed by Copilot is not used to train foundation models, and Microsoft Purview controls enable fine governance. For very sensitive contexts, impact assessments (DPIA) are recommended and addressed in the GDPR nFADP sub-domain.

What is the difference between Microsoft 365 Copilot and ChatGPT?

Microsoft 365 Copilot is natively integrated into the Microsoft 365 suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams) and leverages your enterprise data via Microsoft Graph. ChatGPT is an OpenAI consumer and enterprise product, more generalist, accessible via web and API. Both tools are often complementary in companies. Our Boost your productivity training addresses the choices according to use cases.
