Use Copilot where it is genuinely different \u2014 inside Word, Excel and Outlook on real files \u2014 and know exactly when a standalone assistant would be the better tool.<\/p>\n
Freshers heading into offices that run on Microsoft 365, and students who already write their assignments in Word and their data in Excel.<\/p>\n
4<\/strong> modules and 15<\/strong> lessons, arranged so each one ends with something you have built. Every lesson carries a worked example and a practice task \u2014 the practice is the course, the reading is only the setup. Plan for 5 weeks \u00b7 about 4 hours a week<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The full syllabus \u2014 every lesson, its example and its practice task \u2014 is in the Course curriculum below. Nothing is locked and nothing needs an account.<\/p>\n Titles vary between companies; the evidence does not. A deployed project, a set of queries you can explain, or a case study with real testing behind it is what a fresher interview has to work with.<\/p>\n No. The free app teaches most of the prompting. The parts that need a work licence \u2014 searching your organisation's files, summarising your own inbox \u2014 are demonstrated here and you will meet them in a job.<\/p>\n The underlying models overlap, and the difference is where it lives. This one sits inside Word, Excel and Outlook and can read the files you have permission to open, which is a different job.<\/p>\n Excel. Copilot makes a competent Excel user faster; it does not make somebody who cannot read a formula into an analyst. Do the Excel course on this site first if formulas are new to you.<\/p>\n Three things: a working reports pack built in Excel and Word, a saved set of prompts you wrote and tested on your own work, and a Way2Fresher certificate naming the course. Microsoft also publishes its own learning material for the tools it makes, and the rail on this course page links to it.<\/p>\nYour weekly routine<\/h2>\n
