7 robotic process automation training and certification courses

Robotic process automation (RPA) has great potential for streamlining business operations. Here’s how to develop high-demand RPA skills as organizations move to automate their business processes.

Robotic process automation (RPA) is emerging as a key technology for streamlining business processes in the enterprise. As organizations increasingly adopt RPA, which relies on software robots to automate tedious tasks, expertise with RPA tools and implementations will become more important for business analysts, business intelligence developers, data or solutions architects, and system integrators or administrators.

Certifications and training programs are emerging to help get IT workers up to speed on the latest RPA tools and practices, so they can take on enterprise automation. Here are seven online courses that promise to teach you everything you need to know about robotic process automation.
