My knowledge of AI was pretty limited and I felt so much more comfortable using AI after the course. It is short, concise and fun to watch! Couldn’t recommend it enough to anyone who wants to quickly expand their AI skills!

MEET YOUR TEACHER

Hi, I’m David Fortin 👋

I’m a Microsoft MVP, LinkedIn Learning Instructor, and CPA, and I love helping people feel confident with tools like Copilot and Excel.

Before teaching, I spent over a decade in the corporate world, raising $30M in venture capital and helping lead a $200M company exit (with Excel at the heart of it all) 💚.

Since then, my YouTube videos have reached millions of views, and I’ve trained over 1,000 professionals in the past year alone in live sessions on Microsoft Copilot. My students describe my teaching as practical, clear, and fun.

My goal? To make Microsoft Copilot less intimidating, more useful, and something you’ll actually enjoy using every day.

Welcome to my world, and now, yours too!

Cheers,
Dave

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m a complete beginner with Copilot and AI. Will I be able to follow your courses?

Absolutely, my courses are designed specifically for beginners.
You don’t need any prior experience with AI or Copilot.

I guide you step‑by‑step, using clear explanations, real examples, and a logical progression so you always know what to do next. Every module builds on the previous one, and nothing is assumed — I explain everything in plain language, at a comfortable pace.

You’ll also get detailed guides, screen recordings, and practical exercises that make it easy to follow along and apply what you learn right away. My goal is simple: no one gets left behind, no matter your starting point.

Is Microsoft 365 Copilot secure for my data?

This is one of the most common questions I get — and the short answer is: always check with your IT department first. Every organization has its own policies around AI tools, data handling, and compliance, and they’re the ones who can give you the “official” green light.

What I can tell you is this:

  • Microsoft 365 Copilot follows the same security, compliance, and privacy standards as the rest of Microsoft 365. (Careful, you must not use the Microsoft Copilot (personal) version)
  • I personally use Microsoft 365 Copilot every single day in my own business.

I also cover the fundamentals of data security in my Microsoft Copilot Essentials course so you always know how to use Copilot safely and confidently.

Do I need a Microsoft 365 subscription to use Copilot and follow your training?

To use Microsoft 365 Copilot and get the most value from my training, you do need an active Microsoft 365 business subscription.
But here’s the good news:

You don’t need to buy the paid Copilot license to start learning.

Microsoft offers a version called Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat — it’s included at no extra cost with many Microsoft 365 business licenses. This free version gives you access to the Copilot Chat experience in the browser, and you can follow a large part of my training with it.

Here’s how it breaks down:

  • Free version (Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat)
    ✔️ Included with many Microsoft 365 business plans
    ✔️ No additional Copilot license required
    ✔️ Great for beginners and perfect for learning the fundamentals
    ✔️ Works for most modules in my courses

  • Paid version (Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365)
    ✔️ Adds deep integration directly inside Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, etc.
    ✔️ Something many organizations are gradually adopting

My courses are designed so you’ll still get a ton of value even if you only have the free Copilot Chat experience. And as the tool continues to evolve, I expect more and more people to eventually receive the full paid Copilot license from their organization.

Long story short:
👉 Yes, you need a Microsoft 365 business subscription.
👉 No, you don’t need the paid Copilot license to follow most of my training.

How is your Microsoft 365 Copilot training different from free tutorials on YouTube?

YouTube is great for quick tips — but Microsoft 365 Copilot evolves faster than any other tool right now. Features change every week, and that makes most YouTube videos outdated within a few days or weeks. That’s exactly why my training exists.

My courses are continuously updated, because this is what I focus on full‑time. When Copilot changes, I update the lessons, the screen recordings, and the written guides — so you’re always learning the current version of the tool, not last month’s version.

Beyond staying up to date, the real difference is in the learning experience:

  • A clear, logical structure that guides you step‑by‑step
  • Each lesson has a clear learning objective, so you always know what you’re about to learn
  • Hands‑on exercises that help you apply the skills right away
  • Detailed written guides that you can download and use to take action
  • A progression designed to avoid overwhelm, even if you’re brand new to Copilot

This isn’t a collection of random tips — it’s a well‑designed learning path based on how adults learn best.

And here’s the part I’m most proud of:
My training has been tested, refined, and improved by over 1,000 busy professionals and several organizations. With every cohort, feedback made the course sharper, clearer, and more effective — like a good wine that keeps getting better with time.

On YouTube, I can’t revise every video when Copilot changes.
Inside my courses, I can — and I do.

That’s the difference.

If I buy one of your on-demand course, Will I get lifetime access to the content?

Yes, you get lifetime access to the course.

I personally dislike when I buy a course and the owner gives me only 3 or 6 months to finish it. Learning Copilot takes time, and everyone has a busy schedule. So when you enroll in one of my on‑demand courses, you keep access forever, with no pressure and no deadlines.

Even better:
You don’t just keep the content, you also get all future updates included. Copilot evolves incredibly fast, and I update my courses regularly to keep everything current. Whenever something new is added or improved in the course, it’s automatically yours.

Lifetime access + lifetime updates.

Can I ask you questions if I need help while learning Microsoft Copilot?

Absolutely! I’m very accessible and genuinely love helping people learn Copilot.
If you get stuck, have a question, or just want to share a win, you can always send me an email. I read everything myself and I do my best to reply as quickly as possible 😁

Do you offer Microsoft Copilot training for teams and organizations?

Yes, yes, and absolutely yes!
Many organizations use my courses as part of their team’s training plan, and some even make it mandatory, which I think is amazing.
