DGT047B : Robotics Process Automation (Classroom)

7.00 CPE Hours (Category 5)
Classroom

UiPath Installation:
To optimize the learning experience, all participants are required to be equipped with a window laptop, pre-installed with UiPath software.

Programme Objective

 

This course is intended to introduce Robotic Process Automation (RPA) through a series of hands-on activities using the UiPath software. Discussion points will include if RPA is the correct solution for your automation needs, and if so, what to consider when implementing it. Participants will create their own RPA projects for real-world tasks to gain insight to the adoption process and potential of the technology.

Please note that UiPath (like all leading RPA software currently) is a Windows-only software. If at all possible, we highly recommend you install it and follow along with the activities, but it’s possible to just watch and learn from the demonstrations alone.

Testimonial


Understand what is RPA and the available RPA in the market

Past Participant


I think this course is good as it is very interactive, and we can practice how to construct simple RBA.

Past Participant


The trainer, Akmal is very knowledgeable and up to date in his area of expertise. His energy makes the class a
joy to be in. He is also patient and showed interest in sharing his experience and knowledge with the class. Well
done.
