Use AI at workOxford Generative and Agentic AI Programme
Evaluate use cases, build a simple agent and frame a business case for AI adoption.
Curriculum
- LLMs, viable use cases and workflow limitations.
- Agent types and orchestration patterns.
- Hands-on agent build, framework comparison and governance artefacts.
Before you start
No advanced technical background; familiarity with digital tools helps.
Who it suits
Our assessment, based on the syllabus.
Technology director
Assess platforms, integration and oversight.
Senior consultant
Advise clients on credible pilots and adoption.
Expected outcomes

- Practise assessing a proposed investment and its oversight needs.
Example application
Build a small workflow agent and prepare a proposal for a controlled pilot.
Limits
- Well above the affordable shortlist.

How current is it?
Current syllabus explicitly covers agent orchestration and guided building.
When to choose it
