Copilot and AI Training Course

We’ve been running Copilot and AI training privately for our clients for some time. Lately, we’ve been hearing the same thing from smaller teams and individuals: they want access to practical AI training without the cost of a private session.

So we’re making our Copilot and AI Training Course public.

On Thursday, 4 June 2026, we’re hosting an in‑person Copilot and AI training workshop in Brisbane, open to both clients and the public. It’s designed for people who want to use AI in their day‑to‑day work, not just understand how it works.

The course is shaped by real client delivery and the practical realities of using AI in environments where privacy, security, and compliance matter.
