3-Day Claude and Copilot Programme in Dubai and the UAE (2026): Governance, Business Teams and Leaders
PUBLISHED 31 OCTOBER 2026 • BY PARIKSHIT KHANNA • FACTS CHECKED 31 OCTOBER 2026
Quick answer
Three days suits UAE companies that want adoption with guardrails. Day one sets up governance and core skills, day two builds deep Claude workflows, and day three covers Microsoft Copilot, Copilot Studio agents and a leadership briefing. The UAE adopted its National AI Strategy 2031 in 2019, and Microsoft's 2026 AI diffusion research puts AI use among UAE working age adults at just over 73%, the highest in the world, so most teams need structure and safe habits more than awareness.
Three day agenda
Day | Focus | Outputs |
Day 1: Governance and core skills | Company AI policy, data handling under the UAE PDPL and free zone rules (DIFC, ADGM), prompting method, Claude and Copilot side by side | Usage rules and a shared prompt library |
Day 2: Claude workflows | Projects with team knowledge, Research, Artifacts, Claude for Excel and PowerPoint, Skills, and a Claude Cowork demonstration on paid plans | Two reusable workflows per team |
Day 3: Copilot and agents | Copilot in Outlook, Teams, Excel and PowerPoint, Notebooks, Researcher and Analyst, a Copilot Studio agent prototype, then a 90 minute leadership briefing | An agent prototype and a 90 day adoption plan |
Built for UAE business hubs
DIFC and ADGM: financial services examples with strict data handling and human review.
DMCC and JLT: trading correspondence, supplier comparison sheets and shipment updates.
Dubai Internet City: product, sales and support content for regional teams.
Dubai Healthcare City: administrative workflows only, with patient data kept out of training exercises.
English and Arabic
Most UAE teams work in English with Arabic client communication. During the programme, bilingual participants test Arabic outputs and the team agrees a native speaker review step before any Arabic text reaches a client.
Which licence do your people need?
Microsoft Copilot Chat: available without the add-on licence for eligible work accounts. It answers from the web and files you upload, so a Copilot Chat track still delivers real value.
Microsoft 365 Copilot licence: adds grounding in your mail, meetings, chats and files, Copilot inside Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams, and agents such as Researcher and Analyst. Microsoft now shows it as Microsoft Copilot in many places.
Claude Free: covers chat, up to five Projects, memory, connectors and Skills.
Claude paid plans: add Research, Claude Cowork, Claude in Chrome and the Claude add-ins for Excel, PowerPoint, Word and Outlook. The programme is planned around the licences you already have.
Delivery in the UAE
The programme runs live online in Gulf Standard Time, or onsite in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah by arrangement. Onsite days can be split into blocks, for example two days in one week and the third day the following week.

Microsoft offers Anthropic models in parts of Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Studio, and your Microsoft 365 admin controls whether they are enabled for your tenant.
Who should attend the leadership briefing?
Heads of department and decision makers. It covers priorities, risks, licence choices and how to measure adoption.
Can the three days be spread out?
Yes. Many UAE clients prefer two days in one week and the third a week later, so teams can practise in between.
