Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a game-changing technology that is designed to automate high-volume, repeatable tasks that take up a large percentage of a workers’ time. Take this opportunity to prepare yourself for the future of work and get trained in one of the most in-demand skills.

The goal of this course is to provide you with a clear overview of what RPA is, how it works and when to apply it, and at the same time give you hands-on technology experience by helping you build a simple robot that automates a business process in the UiPath Studio RPA software. This way you’ll both understand the bigger picture, and you will know how the technology works in practice. Further, we will look at how to pilot the technology in an enterprise setting so that you know what steps to take to succeed with any RPA initiative in your organization.
