Hands-on AI training for London teams, delivered at your office or live online. No jargon, no theory, no hype. Your people leave using AI on real work the same day.
The Oxford AI School runs practical AI training for London businesses, from two-person consultancies in Clerkenwell to hundred-strong teams in Canary Wharf. Sessions are hands-on from the first ten minutes, taught in plain English, and built around the tools your team already has: ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini and Perplexity.
London is not short of AI conversation. Every conference, every LinkedIn feed, every board pack has an AI slide in it. What most London teams are short of is someone who will sit in the room for an afternoon and show them, task by task, how the tools actually work on the job they did yesterday. That is the whole of what we do.
We train law firms around Chancery Lane, agencies in Soho and Shoreditch, finance and insurance teams in the City and Canary Wharf, property firms across west London and founders working out of shared space at King’s Cross. The tools are the same everywhere. The work is not, so the session is built around yours. Most attendees save 10 or more hours per person every week once AI becomes part of how they work.
We deliver in person anywhere inside the M25, and live online for teams split across offices, sites and home working.
Every London session is hands-on and tailored to your work. This is the kind of thing your team walks out able to do.
We are tool-agnostic. Most London teams already pay for at least one of these and use a fraction of it, so we start with what is on your desk.
The default starting point for most teams. We cover projects, custom instructions, file analysis and the habits that stop it inventing things.
Our pick for long documents and careful drafting. Strong on contracts, reports and anything where tone and accuracy both matter.
If your business runs on Microsoft 365, this is the one your IT team will approve first. We cover Copilot in Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams.
Best fit for teams already in Google Workspace, plus image and video work with Veo for marketing and comms.
Research with sources attached. We use it for market and competitor work where you need to check where an answer came from.
These are the skills that separate teams getting real value from AI from teams who tried it once and gave up.
Prompt engineering has a grander name than it deserves. It is the difference between asking for ‘a marketing email’ and asking for the email you actually want, with the audience, the constraints, the tone and the format spelled out. We teach a four-part structure your team can remember without notes, then drill it on your own live work until the output stops needing a rewrite.
By the end of the day your London team has a small library of prompts that genuinely work, written down and shared, so the quality of the output stops depending on who happens to be doing the task.
Context management is the half nobody teaches, and it is where most London teams lose the time they thought they were saving. It covers what you load into a conversation, what you leave out, when to start fresh, and how to keep the reference material a tool works from clean and current. Get it right and the AI stops guessing at your business. Get it wrong and you spend your morning correcting confident nonsense.
Your staff are already using AI. The only question is whether they are doing it inside rules you have written down.
Somebody in your business pasted client information into a chatbot this month. In a London firm with clients, contracts and a compliance function, that is not a small thing. An AI policy is the one page that says which tools are approved, what they are for, and what must never go near them.
Our AI Policy Workshop is a full day for up to ten people, delivered at your London office or online. You do not get a template to fill in later. You leave with your own written AI acceptable use policy, your approved tool list agreed, your data red line set and named gatekeepers who sign off anything new.
We also cover the governance side that boards and clients increasingly ask about: risk management, record-keeping, and how you would demonstrate that an AI-assisted decision was checked by a person. Our guides to AI governance, trustworthy AI and the NIST AI RMF and compliance, auditing and explainability set out the approach in full.
The session is tailored to your sector, because the paperwork, the rules and the pressure points are different in each one.
For teams in the City, Canary Wharf and the Square Mile fringe where accuracy and audit trails matter more than speed.
For Soho, Shoreditch and Clerkenwell studios billing by the hour and losing hours to admin.
For Holborn firms, west London property teams and independent consultants working on documents all day.
