Team training
Microsoft 365 Copilot training for teams in Edinburgh. Hands on, built around your work.
Copilot lives inside the tools your team already uses, which is its strength and its trap. This session shows where it saves real time in Outlook, Word, Excel and Teams, and where it quietly wastes it.

In short
Norloch runs Microsoft 365 Copilot training for teams in Edinburgh, across Scotland and remotely. It's a practical session for non-technical staff: how Microsoft 365 Copilot works, where it helps in your business and where it doesn't, how to get good output, how to spot work worth automating, and how to use it safely with company and client data. Best with 4 to 10 people, tailored to your industry, and scoped on a free call.
Compared
Copilot, ChatGPT or Claude for a small UK business?
The honest comparison we give every team. Most end up using two.
| Microsoft 365 Copilot | ChatGPT (Team) | Claude (Team) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where it lives | Inside Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel | Separate app and browser | Separate app and browser |
| Sees your email and files | Yes, everything the user can already open | Only what you upload or connect | Only what you upload or connect |
| Strongest at | Catching up on threads and meetings, first drafts in Word | General tasks, custom GPTs, image and voice | Long documents, careful writing, analysis |
| Weakest at | Careful writing and analysis; Excel beyond basics | Reading your tenant without setup | Reading your tenant without setup |
| Main risk | Surfaces oversharing you didn't know about | Staff pasting client data on the wrong plan | Staff pasting client data on the wrong plan |
| Typical cost | About £23 per user a month on top of Microsoft 365 (annual) | About £20 to £25 per user a month | About £20 to £25 per user a month |
| Pick it when | The team lives in Outlook and Teams | You want the widest range of tasks | Your work is documents and client writing |

Who it's for
Teams who already have Microsoft 365 Copilot, or are about to.
Ops, admin and finance staff.
The people handling the inbox, the meeting notes and the spreadsheets.
Owners weighing up the licence cost.
Who want to know, before paying per user per month, where it will actually pay back.
What we cover
Five modules. Built around your team.
1
How Copilot actually works
What's underneath it, what it can see in your tenant, what it can't, and why it sometimes gets things wrong.
2
Copilot in Outlook and Teams
Summarising threads, drafting replies, catching up on meetings you missed. Hands on with your own inbox.
3
Copilot in Word and Excel
First drafts from your documents, rewriting, and the Excel features that are worth it versus the ones that aren't yet.
4
Where it pays off, and where it doesn't
A simple method to find the tasks worth handing to Copilot, and the ones to leave alone.
5
Doing it safely
Permissions, what Copilot can reach that you didn't expect, and a checking routine before anything goes to a client.
Data and safety
Using Microsoft 365 Copilot safely at work.
This is the part most training skips and the part that matters most.
Permissions are the risk.
Copilot can surface anything a user already has access to. We show how to check that before rollout, not after.
Commercial data protection.
What Microsoft's commitments cover, what they don't, and what that means for client data.
Checking the output.
A routine for verifying facts and figures before a Copilot draft leaves the business.
A written policy.
You leave with a one-page usage policy for the team, adapted from what we cover.
Why Norloch
We build with these tools. We don't just talk about them.
Practical, not theoretical.
We build and run live systems on Microsoft models for real businesses. The training comes from what works day to day.
Your business, your examples.
Every exercise uses your documents, your workflows and your questions. Nothing generic.
Builds independence.
The goal is a team that uses the tool confidently without us. Not a dependency.
Then, if you want, we go deeper.
After the fundamentals we can map where it fits in your roadmap, and build it. See what we build
FAQ
Common questions.
Do we need Copilot licences before the session?
It helps to have at least a few, so the team can work hands-on. If you're deciding whether to buy, we can run the session on a trial and tell you plainly whether it's worth it for you.
Is Copilot better than ChatGPT or Claude?
Different. Copilot's advantage is that it sits inside Microsoft 365 and can see your email and files. Its weakness is that it's less capable for careful writing and analysis. We cover when to use which.
Can you help with the rollout?
Yes. Permissions review, usage policy and a pilot with one team is work we do before or after the training.
Where do you run it?
On-site in Edinburgh or anywhere in Scotland, or remotely. Best with 4 to 10 people.
How much does it cost?
From £2,000 per team for a single session. Multi-day programmes, several teams or more than one tool run up to £10,000. What moves it: the number of days, how many people, and how much of the material we build from your own documents and workflows. Scoped on a free call. Full pricing.
