Artificial Intelligence & Copilot
These courses are for organisations that want their people to use AI tools such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot and Gemini productively and responsibly. They suit staff who write, analyse, report or plan every day, and managers who need to decide how AI is used in their teams. The courses are hands-on: delegates practise with the tools, learn to write prompts that give reliable output, and learn where the limits and risks lie.
Courses run for one or two days. Start with a general course, add Microsoft Copilot if your organisation uses Microsoft 365, or book a one-day masterclass for a specific role. Training runs in-house at your premises, at BOTI's venue in Sunningdale, Johannesburg, or online. For Excel, Power BI and the rest of Microsoft 365, see Microsoft Office & Computer Skills.
