About The Oxford AI School in the North West
An Oxford school that spends a good part of its week in the North West. Same trainer, same prices, same plain English, delivered at your office instead of ours.
In short:- The Oxford AI School is an AI training provider founded in 2025 and based in Witney, Oxfordshire. Its North West hub delivers in-person AI training at clients' offices in Manchester, Liverpool, Chester and across the region. Every North West programme is led by founder Harry Lang, a former CMO and author of Learn To Fly With AI.
Harry Lang, North West Lead
Harry spent years as a CMO before deciding he'd rather teach people to use AI than sit in meetings about it. He set up The Oxford AI School in 2025 to make AI training practical, jargon-free and, against all corporate tradition, enjoyable. Why he set it up.
He wrote Learn To Fly With AI, a plain-English guide for people who want to understand AI without a computer science degree, and co-curates the Marketing Unfiltered newsletter.

Talk To HarryHow North West AI Training Sessions Work
Sessions run at your office, anywhere from Carlisle to Crewe, on your team's own laptops and documents. Manchester Piccadilly is one direct train from Oxford, so Harry is usually in town the night before and at your door before the kettle's boiled.
Prices are the same as everywhere else in the UK. Travel is billed at cost and quoted upfront, so nothing appears on the invoice that wasn't on the proposal.
Prefer not to host? Every programme also runs live online, and it's still hands-on.
What We Believe About Training
Most AI training fails because it's a tour of features nobody asked for. Ours starts with your work, uses your tools and ends with each person holding three jobs they can hand to AI that week.
If people aren't doing something new by the end of the session, it wasn't a good session. That's the only measure we use.
