For Trinity 2026, we are offering sessions that are designed for a broad audience who may be unfamiliar with AI or would like to learn more about the field in general as well as those looking to make the next steps in their use of GenAI.

We will be taking a break from open trainings over the summer and will resume our training programme in Michaelmas term 2026.

You can review past training resources on our Canvas page, alongside other self-service courses.

Our trainers also offer a variety of on-demand workshops for teams who are already familiar with AI. You can request one of these custom trainings through our Custom Training Enquiry Form.

Below are listed our courses titles for the upcoming term, if any are of interest please click through to learn more. You can also use our Course Browser to search learning pathways, or even create your own.

Course themes:

• Getting Started with AI at Oxford

• AI for Strategic Thinking and Operations

• AI in Education

• AI for Coding

Our trainings are organised into four 'audience exposure' levels as follows:

• Level 1: Never used AI
  These individuals have no prior experience using AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar. They may be unfamiliar with basic terminology and functionality.

• Level 2: Sometimes use AI
  Users in this group have experimented with AI occasionally - perhaps using it for idea generation, writing help, or coding assistance, but not consistently.

• Level 3: Use AI on a daily basis
  Regular AI users who likely incorporate tools into their daily workflow. They are typically comfortable with prompts, plugins, and productivity use cases.

• Open to all
  This applies to sessions open to all experience levels. Content is likely designed to be inclusive and adaptable depending on participant input.

Getting Started with AI at Oxford

The AI Competency Centre and the Digital Capabilities teams have created a series of supportive sessions to get all Oxford staff and students feeling confident to start using generative AI tools in their work and studies. These sessions run regularly and frequently through the term.
