    03

    Frequently asked questions

    Everything you need to know before enrolling.

    It is best to have one, because it unlocks Copilot in Excel and the Microsoft apps. If you do not, you can still watch every live demo and use Copilot Chat. Licences and plans change, so check with your IT team.

    Copilot Cowork is part of Microsoft 365 Copilot, and an administrator must switch it on in your organisation. If it is not on for you, we demonstrate it live so you still see the full workflow.

    No. If you can use Excel and Outlook, you are ready.

    A trial or work account is best, but you can watch the build and ask questions without one.

    Every session is recorded. Enrolled learners get 1-year access to the recordings.

    Please do not use confidential data. We provide sample files, and we cover how to check your company's AI policy first.

    This is the first time we run this workshop. The group is small, you get direct access to the instructor, and your feedback shapes the next cohort.

    Full refund up to 7 days before the first session. After that, transfer your seat to a future cohort. Email support@explainx.ai from your purchase email. Refunds go to the original payment method. If we cancel or fail to deliver the sessions, you receive a full refund regardless of timing.

    The instructor, Mr. Yash Thakker, kept things as simple as feasible and demonstrated easy to understand examples. The diction, clarity of speech, pace etc. was just fine, and he paused for us to try something and patiently answered our doubts.
