Modules covering everything from Copilot fundamentals to advanced workflows. Our curriculum evolves constantly as Microsoft adds new capabilities.
Why Our Training is Different
The Problem with Generic Training
Most AI training follows the same script: a half-day workshop, a few demos, a slide deck, and a "good luck." The team is excited on the day but back to old habits by Monday.
Generic training teaches theory and features. It does not teach people how to actually change their daily workflows. That is why 74% of AI investments fail to deliver value (BCG, 2024) — it is not a technology problem, it is a behaviour change problem.
If your team completed a Copilot workshop and nothing changed, you have experienced this firsthand.
Our Approach
Role-specific content — not generic demos, but tasks your team does every day
Weekly accountability — each module builds on the last with real assignments
Win shares — participants track and share time saved, building momentum
Practical not theoretical — every session is hands-on with live exercises
Habit embedding — the final module focuses on making AI a daily reflex
Ongoing support — we do not disappear after the last session
The 10-Module Curriculum
A structured programme that takes your team from Copilot basics to daily AI habits. Our curriculum is constantly evolving as Microsoft adds new features, and we work with you to finalise the module list before delivery.

Who It's For
SMEs with Microsoft 365
You have invested in Microsoft 365 and Copilot licences but your team is barely using them. This programme unlocks the ROI you are paying for.
Non-Profits Modernising
NFPs with tight budgets and small teams that need to maximise every tool. Copilot can save hours weekly per person when used properly.
Teams Wanting Copilot ROI
You tried a Copilot workshop and nothing stuck. This programme is built for sustained adoption — not a one-off demo.
We delivered our full 10-module Copilot training programme to a national sporting organisation as part of their organisation-wide AI adoption initiative. Staff went from minimal Copilot usage to embedding AI into their daily workflows across Outlook, Teams, Word, and Excel.

How long does the training programme take?
The full 10-module programme is typically delivered over 10 weeks, with one session per week. Each session runs for 60-90 minutes. We can also compress the schedule for teams that want faster delivery.
What are the prerequisites?
Participants need a Microsoft 365 licence with Copilot enabled. No prior AI experience is needed — the programme is designed to take people from beginner to confident daily user.
Is training delivered online or in person?
Both. We deliver in-person sessions in Auckland and online sessions for teams anywhere in New Zealand and Australia. The format is interactive and hands-on regardless of delivery mode.
What results can we expect?
Our programme for a national sporting organisation saw staff adopting Copilot into their daily workflows within weeks. Participants report saving 2-5 hours per week once habits are embedded. The key difference is sustained adoption, not a one-off workshop.
Is Avintis a certified Microsoft Partner?
Yes. Avintis is a certified Microsoft Partner with demonstrated expertise in Microsoft 365 and Copilot. This means our training is aligned with Microsoft best practices and our team has verified technical capability.
