Dixon AI offers a comprehensive online Microsoft Copilot training programme: Copilot Masterclass. The Masterclass is designed to meet learners where they are today, whether they are new to AI or already experimenting with Copilot and want to work more confidently and systematically. It stands alone as a complete learning experience and is equally well suited to individuals, teams and organisations running a GEFIE programme who need consistent, high-quality AI capability development.
Taken as a whole, the Masterclass builds practical AI literacy, confidence and real-world skill, moving from first principles through to applied use in everyday work.
Learn online, live, with expert tutors
All our courses are delivered live by experienced AI practitioners who combine clear teaching with practical demonstration. Each session is interactive and supportive, giving you the chance to ask questions, practise new skills in real time and learn alongside others.
Across the four weeks, you will be guided step by step by tutors who understand how to make AI accessible, engaging and immediately useful, with a strong focus on responsible, real-world use of Microsoft Copilot.
Copilot Masterclass is a practical, live online AI acceleration course that provides learners with the core components of modern AI literacy and applied Copilot use. It builds a shared AI vocabulary, teaches structured and reusable prompting, introduces Copilot agents and Copilot Studio concepts, and gives hands-on practice so participants can use Copilot confidently and responsibly in everyday work.
Designed as a workshop-style course, the Masterclass combines concise lectures, guided demonstrations and hands-on exercises. Learners move from understanding how Copilot works across the Microsoft ecosystem, through to building prompts and simple AI assets they can reuse and adapt in their own role or team.
