Exam: UiPath Certified RPA Associate Voucher (UIRPA)

The UiPath Certified RPA Associate (UiRPA) is expected to be able to (1) independently design and develop simple RPA solutions or (2) be a productive member of an automation team led by an experienced RPA Developer responsible for developing complex solutions using UiPath technologies. This exam assesses knowledge and skills related to problem solving, process identification, and building simple automation solutions with UiPath platform components such as UiPath Studio, Robots, and Orchestrator. UiRPA is the first step for professionals who want to build and assess their knowledge and skills towards their journey to become an Advanced RPA Developer, Solution Architect or RPA Architect.

The target audience for the UiPath RPA Associate v1.0 Exam include all technical and semi technical roles such as:

• Junior RPA Developers
• RPA Developers

• College/University Students and/or Graduates
• UiPath and Partner Employees in roles such as Pre-Sales, Services, Support, etc.

UiRPA is for professionals who want to build, assess, and demonstrate their RPA skills. It is also a recommended foundational level certification to become Advanced RPA Developers, Solution Architects, or RPA Architects:

• Assesses your problem-solving and process identification skills
• Tests your ability to build simple automation solutions
• Suitable for any knowledge worker including Junior RPA Developers, Architects, Solution Architects, Business Analysts, Accountants, college graduates, and others

If you are an experienced RPA Developer, you may skip the associate level.
