GitHub Copilot training

I was recently asked about training in GitHub Copilot. Microsoft has two relevant courses and the person was confused over which one is better.

There is the GH-300 course, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/courses/gh-300t00,  for GitHub Copilot. It is a very busy 1-day course aimed at preparing for the GH-300 certification and includes concepts around GitHub enterprise. There are exercises included in the course but they only need a browser so no labs need to be provided.  Students would need to bring their own GitHub account and license.

There are 12 modules in GH-300 with a total of two hours of hands-on exercises:

1. Responsible AI with GitHub Copilot
2. Introduction to GitHub Copilot
3. Introduction to prompt engineering with GitHub Copilot
4. Using advanced GitHub Copilot features
5. GitHub Copilot Across Environments: IDE, Chat, and Command Line Techniques
6. Management and customization considerations with GitHub Copilot
7. Developer use cases for AI with GitHub Copilot
8. Develop unit tests using GitHub Copilot tools
9. Introduction to GitHub Copilot Business
10. Introduction to GitHub Copilot Enterprise
11. Using GitHub Copilot with JavaScript
12. Using GitHub Copilot with Python

There is also the AZ-2007 Accelerate app development by using GitHub Copilot course. This is also a 1-day course and comes with a lab environment that needs to be purchased. The course is aligned with an applied skill https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/applied-skills/accelerate-app-development-by-using-github-copilot/

There are 5 modules in AZ-2007 each with a hands-on lab:

1. Get started with GitHub Copilot
2. Generate documentation using GitHub Copilot tools
3. Develop code features using GitHub Copilot tools
4. Develop unit tests using GitHub Copilot tools
5. Implement code improvements using GitHub Copilot tools

I asked Copilot to summarise the differences
