Exploring RPA | Robotic Process Automation (TTML6903)
This is a lab intensive, hands-on course that provides participants with an excellent foundation for their automation journey, with a special focus on one of the most popular RPA tools: UiPath. Robotic Process Automation takes you on a journey from understanding the basics of RPA to advanced implementation techniques. You will become oriented in the UiPath interface and learn about its workflow. Once you are familiar with the environment, we will get hands-on with automating different applications such as Excel, SAP, Windows and web applications, screen and web scraping, working with user events, as well as understanding exceptions and debugging.
This “skills-centric” course is about 50% hands-on lab and 50% lecture, with extensive practical exercises designed to reinforce fundamental skills, concepts and best practices taught throughout the course. Working in a hands-on learning environment, led by our Automation Learning expert instructor, students will explore:
- Robotic Process Automation and its impact on the modern world
- How to design, test, and perform enterprise automation task with UiPath
- How to create Automation apps and deploy them to all the computers in your department.
