15-Day Claude and Copilot Mastery Programme for Corporate Teams (2026): From Foundations to Agents and AI Champions
PUBLISHED 1 NOVEMBER 2026 • BY PARIKSHIT KHANNA • FACTS CHECKED 31 OCTOBER 2026
Quick answer
The 15 day programme is for companies that want internal AI champions who can train colleagues and run AI projects. It moves from foundations to deep Claude and Microsoft Copilot skills, then to agents and automation, and ends with each participant delivering a working solution for their department. It runs as 15 session days spread over six to eight weeks, usually two days a week, onsite in India or the UAE, or live online for global teams.
Five phases across fifteen days
Phase | Days | Topics | Output |
1. Foundations | 1 to 3 | AI policy, prompting, checking AI output, Claude and Copilot basics, a licence map for your company | Team rules and a shared prompt library |
2. Claude in depth | 4 to 7 | Projects, Research, Artifacts for documents, slides and designs, connectors including Microsoft 365, Skills, Claude for Excel, PowerPoint and Word, Claude in Chrome | Four Claude workflows |
3. Copilot in depth | 8 to 11 | Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel and PowerPoint, Notebooks, Pages, Copilot Search, Researcher and Analyst | Four Copilot workflows |
4. Agents and automation | 12 and 13 | Copilot Studio agents, Claude Cowork and scheduled tasks, Copilot Cowork where licensed, and handoffs to n8n, Make or Zapier | Agent prototypes |
5. Champions and capstone | 14 and 15 | How to train colleagues, measurement, governance, and capstone demos to leadership | A capstone and a champion toolkit |
Who should join
Ten to twenty employees chosen as AI champions: people who are respected in their teams, curious about tools and willing to coach others. Mixed functions work best, because champions learn from each other's use cases.
Why fifteen days instead of a three day course
Champions must be able to teach, not only use the tools, and that takes repetition.
Spacing sessions over six to eight weeks lets each workflow be tested on real work.
Agents and automation only make sense once foundations are solid.
How this compares with other options
Option | Good for | Watch out for |
Free official self paced courses (Anthropic Academy, Microsoft Learn) | Individual basics and completion certificates | One vendor each, no customisation, no team project |
One day vendor courses such as Microsoft MS-4004 or MS-4018 | Copilot use cases | Copilot only, and many require a paid Copilot licence |
Classroom "certification" programmes | Longer group courses | Often a completion certificate rather than an exam; check codes are current, as MS-4007 retired on 31 March 2026 and MS-4017 and MS-4023 on 30 October 2026 |
Programmes by Parikshit Khanna | Claude and Copilot together, your own documents, English or Hindi, sessions spread across weeks | Needs a short scoping call first |
After the programme
Champions who want formal credentials can take Microsoft's AB-730 AI Business Professional exam, or AB-900 Copilot and Agent Administration Fundamentals for IT minded champions, and complete free Anthropic Academy courses for completion certificates.

Frequently asked questions
What is an AI champion?
An employee who uses AI well, helps colleagues adopt it safely and brings new use cases to management.
Can the programme be shortened?
Yes. The first two phases work as a seven day programme, and phase 4 can be run separately as the advanced agents course.
Which licences do champions need?
Paid Claude plans unlock Research, Cowork and the Office add-ins; Microsoft 365 Copilot licences unlock Copilot in apps and agents. The programme maps what you have and adjusts.
Can it run for UAE, UK or US teams?
Yes, live online in their working hours, or onsite in India and the UAE by arrangement.
How is success measured?
Each capstone reports time saved or quality gained on a real task, and champions run at least one session for colleagues.
