Overview

If you like thinking outside the box and feel energized by creating value through efficiency, you’ll love our Robotic Process Automation (RPA) boot camp.

RPA is a pivotal technology that brings automation and efficiency to business processes. Emulating human interactions through automation software, RPA allows organizations to create digital workers capable of completing repetitive computer-based tasks precisely and quickly. Organizations across all industries — from energy to finance, healthcare and more — are realizing the benefits of RPA in their digital transformation process.

RPA provides opportunities to spend time and resources on the more strategic, value-added aspects of business operations, with applications in finance, accounting, customer service, human resources, supply chain and more.

Designed by industry experts, this intensive boot camp is globally informed but locally driven. You’ll gain a foundational RPA skillset augmented with an understanding of strategy and industry best practices — a combination designed to prepare you for the evolving demands of the workforce as technology continues to transform the economy.

This hands-on course offers you the option to customize your learning experience by choosing one of two industry-leading RPA platforms — UiPath or Microsoft Power Automate.

This course is ideal for early to mid-career professionals interested in becoming entry-level RPA developers, analysts or architects. 

You must be a minimum of 18 years of age at the time you start this course.

Your English language proficiency should be of an equivalent level to English 20-1 or 20-2, as outlined in our English proficiency guidelines. No formal assessment test is required.

Upon successful completion of this course, you’ll be able to:

  • develop an RPA application that will lead to building an enterprise-grade RPA application
  • evaluate how RPA will evolve and impact industries and organizations
  • use process assessment tools to leverage ROI evaluation
  • develop a process-design document that outlines a business process to be automated
  • demonstrate an automation process to stakeholders as outlined in a solution-design document
  • build an automation process that uses advanced RPA techniques and reusable functions and successfully integrates into an application.

What is Robotic Process Automation (RPA) anyway? RPA expert Matt Sentes dives into how this in-demand technology is shaping jobs and expanding career paths.
