Oxford School of Learning was set up in 1986. It became a limited company which was then closed down around 2018 as there was no need to keep it going. The School kept going though, writing/providing books, online courses and issuing the Oxford School of Learning Diploma to those who met difficult criteria.
As the name suggests, Oxford School of Learning is based in Oxford, UK. The original Principal was Chris Sivewright who now delivers various Economics and Business courses for us.
