Copilot Training

The Copilot Workshop: Half a Day That Changes How Your Team Works.

A hands-on, practical training workshop for Vancouver Island business teams — not a slide presentation, not a webinar. Your team leaves with skills they use on Monday morning.

Limited seats per session. Workshops run in Courtenay, Nanaimo, and Victoria.

The Problem With Most AI Training

Most people who have "learned about AI" sat through a presentation about what AI can do — watched a few demo videos, got a list of prompts to try, and went back to work doing exactly what they were doing before.

That's not training. That's awareness. Awareness doesn't recover time, reduce effort, or change behavior.

ALPHA's Copilot Workshop is a working session. Your team sits down with Copilot in a live environment, applies it to their actual workflows, and leaves with practiced skills — not just theoretical knowledge.

Best For
  • Business teams of 5–20 people running Microsoft 365
  • Leadership teams making faster decisions with AI
  • Operations & admin staff eliminating repetitive tasks
  • Finance teams getting more from Excel
  • Sales & client-facing staff improving communication speed
