The AI Business Professional Certificate equips learners to build AI-first workflows using Microsoft 365 Copilot across everyday business operations. Designed for professionals in operations, administration, project coordination, and communication-focused roles, it helps learners move beyond basic AI chat to streamline work, improve collaboration, and increase productivity.
The program covers generative AI fundamentals, responsible AI, workflow evaluation, and prompt design before progressing to hands-on use of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams. Learners create business content, automate workflows, coordinate meetings, and analyze data using natural-language prompts and specialized Copilot agents.
Participants complete four portfolio-ready projects: a workflow assessment, reusable prompt library, AI-powered communication system, and data-driven business analysis.
By the end of the program, learners can write effective prompts, orchestrate AI agents, analyze datasets, and apply human-in-the-loop verification to improve accuracy and protect sensitive information. The certificate prepares learners for roles such as business analyst, project lead, operations manager, and business support professional.
A Microsoft 365 license with an active Copilot for Microsoft 365 subscription is required for hands-on activities. Some integrations, such as Planner, may require additional organizational licensing.
Übungsprojekt
Throughout this program, you’ll complete hands-on projects that build a portfolio of AI-enhanced work products you can apply directly in professional settings. You’ll begin by creating a personal AI workflow assessment to identify repetitive tasks, collaboration points, and decision-making activities where Microsoft 365 Copilot can add measurable value to your daily work. You’ll then build a reusable prompt library and agent workflow system that helps you produce more consistent, efficient outputs across common business tasks. Next, you’ll develop an AI-powered communication system that supports drafting, meeting preparation, follow-ups, and team coordination. The program concludes with a data-driven business analysis project where you transform raw information into dashboards, summaries, and professional deliverables that demonstrate practical AI-first workflow capability.
