1 - Hour 0 - Stress MAXIMUM - Copilot

By Christina Bower-Arsenault • January 30, 2026
Copilot - Turning "I hope this work' into ... " Nailed It! ", since 2026 At Western Training Solutions , our motto is "Work Smarter. Not Harder!" With AI tools multiplying, it’s hard to know where to start—or how to use them safely. That’s where we come in. We hear it everywhere—from government, agencies, and SME businesses, and individuals: "We’ve banned all AI except Microsoft’s Copilot." We get it—security matters. Many generative AI tools gobble up your data, and that’s a privacy risk—especially if you use them on devices tied to sensitive info like online banking. That’s why we’ve created Power Hour : fast, focused 1-hour sessions to help you master Copilot in your favourite Microsoft apps. Reach out to sales@westernts.ca or call sales at 1-204-837-4776 to discuss individual sessions or group training for your department or organization. See you in a session! Discover what you didn't know, you didn't know!

Happy 2026

Let The Work of 2026 Begin How can it already be January 6th?! I was wa rned when I was wee (little) that as I got older that time has a way of speeding up! Boy! Were they right! Here we are in the first full work week of 2026 and it already feels like an out of control locomotive!! What are your goals for 2026? Not ones to actually buy into "New Years Resolutions" - we at Western Training Solutions usually look at what we see as trending or up and coming in the world of end-user technology to prepare and be ahead of the curve! This year, as last year proved - we are concentrating on AI - in particular - Copilot (Microsoft's version of Generative AI) Look out for new " Power Hour " sessions on using Copilot with M365 and what it can do, and what it can't! As always, Western Training Solutions has your backs. We're doing the work, so you don't have to. We look forward to seeing you in classes / sessions in 2026. Here's to Success for All in 2026 from Your Friends at Western Training Solutions
