The AI skills programme built for financial planning professionals

Seven sessions. Ten and a half CPD hours. Real skills you will use the same week. 

AI is changing financial planning, and Microsoft Copilot is quickly becoming an essential workplace tool. The question is, will you know how to use it effectively?

The FPI has partnered with PROpulsion to bring you a practical seven-session Microsoft Copilot programme designed specifically for financial planners, advisers and support teams.

Led by Francois du Toit, CFP®, the programme combines live demonstrations, hands-on learning and real-world financial planning scenarios, giving you practical skills you can apply immediately.

Every session is practical. Every demonstration is grounded in financial planning scenarios. And every skill you build has a direct application to your work the following week.
