Before you sign up

Suits Microsoft 365 users who want to see Copilot at work in documents, presentations, meetings, data and email, task by task. It's a free seven-module path on Microsoft Learn, the self-paced version of the one-day MS-4018 course that partners also teach live. The main caveat is that there's no time estimate on the path and the material centers on one product. A free alternative for building agents is Agent in a Day - Online workshop from Microsoft Learn.
