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.

What your team learns

Real skills, used the same day.

Every London session is hands-on and tailored to your work. This is the kind of thing your team walks out able to do.

Write and pitch faster

  • Draft client emails, proposals and board papers in your own voice, not a chatbot’s
  • Turn a messy call transcript into a clean summary and an action list
  • Rework the same pitch for three different audiences without starting again

Cut the admin down

  • Read a long report or contract and pull out only what matters to you
  • Analyse a spreadsheet by asking questions instead of writing formulas
  • Build reusable prompts your whole team can run, so quality stops depending on who is on shift

Pick the right tool

  • When ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity or Microsoft Copilot is the right call
  • What goes into a public tool and what never leaves your own systems
  • How to sense-check output so nothing wrong reaches a client
The tools

ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini and Perplexity.

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.

ChatGPT

The default starting point for most teams. We cover projects, custom instructions, file analysis and the habits that stop it inventing things.

Claude

Our pick for long documents and careful drafting. Strong on contracts, reports and anything where tone and accuracy both matter.

Microsoft Copilot

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.

Gemini

Best fit for teams already in Google Workspace, plus image and video work with Veo for marketing and comms.

Perplexity

Research with sources attached. We use it for market and competitor work where you need to check where an answer came from.

The two skills that matter

Prompt engineering and context management.

These are the skills that separate teams getting real value from AI from teams who tried it once and gave up.

Prompt engineering

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

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.

AI policy & governance

AI policy for London businesses.

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.

You leave with

  • A written AI acceptable use policy in your own words
  • An approved tool list, and a list of what is not approved
  • Your UK GDPR data red line, stated plainly
  • Rules by department, not one vague page for everyone
  • Named gatekeepers and a review date

Built for your sector

Who we train in London.

The session is tailored to your sector, because the paperwork, the rules and the pressure points are different in each one.

Finance, insurance and professional services

For teams in the City, Canary Wharf and the Square Mile fringe where accuracy and audit trails matter more than speed.

  • Summarising long filings, policies and research packs
  • Drafting client reporting without leaking data
  • Setting rules that survive a compliance review

Agencies, media and creative

For Soho, Shoreditch and Clerkenwell studios billing by the hour and losing hours to admin.

  • Briefs, decks and campaign copy in half the time
  • Keeping brand voice consistent across freelancers
  • Research and insight work with sources you can cite

Law, property and consultancy

For Holborn firms, west London property teams and independent consultants working on documents all day.

  • Reading and comparing long documents at speed
  • First-draft reports, memos and particulars
  • Knowing exactly where the line is on client data

Questions, answered

AI training in London: FAQs.

Do you deliver AI training in person in London?
Yes. We train in person at your office anywhere inside the M25, including the City, Canary Wharf, Soho, Shoreditch, Holborn, King’s Cross, Hammersmith and Croydon. We are based in Oxfordshire, an hour from central London by direct train, so morning starts are straightforward. Live online sessions are available if your team is split across sites.
How much does AI training for a London team cost?
An in-person team workshop for up to 8 people starts at £899 +VAT, and the half-day AI Basics Deep Dive is £1,599 +VAT in person. The full-day AI Policy Workshop for up to 10 people is £2,599 +VAT in person or £2,499 +VAT online. A 1:1 session is £149 +VAT. Travel outside Oxfordshire is quoted up front, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Is this basic AI training or advanced?
Both, depending on where your team is. Most London teams start with basic AI training: what these tools are, what they are for, and how to get useful work out of them the same day. From there we run prompt engineering, context management, AI policy and governance, and the Claude Code pathway for teams who want to automate real processes.
Which AI tools do you train on?
ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini and Perplexity, plus the image and video tools if marketing is in the room. If your business has standardised on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, we build the session around the tool you already pay for.
Can you write our AI policy while you are here?
Yes. The AI Policy Workshop is a full day for up to ten people and you finish it with a written AI acceptable use policy of your own, not a blank template. It covers approved tools, what AI is and is not for, your UK GDPR data red line, rules by department and named gatekeepers.
We are a small team. Is it worth it?
Small teams usually get more out of it than large ones, because there is no committee between deciding something and doing it. A five-person consultancy that gets AI right claws back a day a week per person. We run sessions for teams of two upwards.
