We run Copilot training face to face at your office, site or boardroom in Wellington, whether that is in Thorndon, Te Aro, Lower Hutt or Porirua, or virtual over Teams or Zoom for teams split across sites or regions.
Face to face works best for a first session, because people practise in their own Microsoft 365 environment with Leo beside them. Virtual follow ups suit larger organisations rolling out team by team.
Yes, every Wellington public sector session is built around the GCDO's Responsible AI Guidance for the Public Service: GenAI (February 2025) and the Public Service AI Framework (January 2025).
In practice that means three habits taught on real tasks: knowing what information should never go into a prompt, keeping a person accountable for every output, and being transparent when AI helped produce a document. Your own agency policy sits on top, and we work to it.
The same habits carry into Agent Mode, Copilot Cowork and agents built in Copilot Studio. When an agent or a Skill drafts or acts on a task, a named person still owns the result, and we work out with you which tasks suit delegation and which stay with an adviser.
About 30% of jobs in Wellington City are in the public sector, and a lot of that work happens in Microsoft 365. These are the jobs Copilot can help with, taught inside the guidance staff already follow.

Leo Garcia-Curtis, Founder, Waboom AI.

You learn what is working in real businesses right now, from the person who builds it, not from a slide deck.
Waboom AI Microsoft Copilot training in Wellington is a hands-on workshop that teaches public sector and business teams to use Copilot Chat and Microsoft 365 Copilot on real work, in line with the public service guidance on generative AI. It runs in three levels, AI Foundations, AI Power User and AI Builder Bootcamp, from $1,995 + GST including 10 people, face to face in Wellington or virtual. Waboom AI is an independent New Zealand company and is not affiliated with Microsoft.
Yes. We run the session face to face in your own office, using your own Microsoft 365 environment. If your building has security or IT requirements for visitors, tell us when you book and we will work to them.
Possibly. Many public sector agencies license Microsoft through the all-of-government Microsoft agreement, and its listing includes Copilot for Microsoft 365. What each agency has switched on varies, so we confirm with your IT team before the session which Copilot your staff can use. That also decides which advanced features are open to staff, such as Agent Mode, Power Automate and building agents with Skills in Copilot Studio, so we check those too.
Virtual sessions have no extra costs. For face to face sessions in Wellington, any additional costs such as travel are discussed with you over the phone before you book, so there are no surprises.
Yes. AI Foundations starts with the basics in Copilot Chat: how to ask, how to check, and what the public service guidance says you should and should not do. No prior experience is needed.
We never use classified or personal information in exercises. Microsoft states that prompts and responses in Microsoft 365 Copilot are not used to train its models, and Copilot respects existing permissions, but safety still depends on your settings, your classification rules and your agency policy. We agree the practice material with you beforehand.
Yes. One option is a face to face session in Wellington for the core team, with regional staff joining virtually over Teams or Zoom or attending a separate virtual session the same week.
No. Waboom AI is an independent New Zealand AI company. We are not affiliated with Microsoft and Microsoft does not run or endorse this training. We teach what works in real businesses.
