AI Training for Manchester and North West Professional Firms

In short:- The Oxford AI School runs confidentiality-aware AI training for North West law, accountancy, financial advice and consultancy firms, at your office or live online, for up to 8 people per session. Intro To AI is £1,199 +VAT, half-day sector programmes are £2,299 +VAT with 30 days of follow-up, and the AI Policy Workshop is £2,999 +VAT.
Where AI Earns Its Keep in a Professional Firm
AI does the first pass. A qualified human stays in charge of every one, because no regulator accepts "the robot said so".
Turning a long bundle into a chronology
AI drafts the timeline with page references. The fee earner checks each entry against the source.
Client letters and updates in your firm's voice
A first draft in minutes from the file note. The partner edits, signs and keeps the credit.
Year-end and onboarding admin
Checklists, chasers and client questionnaires for accountancy teams, drafted rather than typed from scratch.
Suitability reports
Fact-find notes into a structured first draft. The adviser checks every recommendation and figure.
Pitches and tenders
Research on the prospect, a structured first draft and a sharper deck. See Win More Business With AI.

Confidential by Default
Every session opens with the bit that matters most: what never goes into a free public chatbot, which tools keep data inside your Microsoft 365 tenancy or enterprise account, and how UK GDPR applies to the work on your desk.
For the regulatory picture, start with the ICO's guidance on AI and data protection. The Oxford AI School is ICO registered.

Professional Services Questions, Answered
Who provides practical AI training for professional firms in Manchester?
The Oxford AI School runs hands-on AI training for law, accountancy, financial advice and consultancy teams in Manchester, Liverpool, Chester and across the North West, in person or live online, for up to 8 people per session. Confidentiality is taught alongside the tools.
Is it safe for solicitors and accountants to use AI with client data?
Only with the right tools and rules. Free public chatbots are no place for client data. Enterprise versions and Copilot inside your Microsoft 365 tenancy can keep data within your controls. Training starts with exactly where that line sits for your firm.
How much does AI training for a professional services firm cost?
Per team session, plus VAT: Intro To AI is £1,199, the half-day sector programmes for law, accountancy and IFAs are £2,299 including 30 days of follow-up, and the AI Policy Workshop is £2,999 for up to 10. Travel is billed at cost and quoted upfront.
Does a firm need an AI policy?
Yes. If nobody has written down which tools are allowed and what can go into them, people are making it up as they go. The AI Policy Workshop audits what is already in use and leaves the firm with a written acceptable use policy in one day.
