Q: What are the steps to prepare and get UiPath Certified?

You can prepare and get Certified through the following steps:

Q: Select: What are my Certification options?

UiPath Certified Professional offers two (2) certifications:

1. UiPath RPA Associate Certification (UiRPA)

UiPath RPA Associate Certification is your first step in the RPA journey. It is designed to assess
your knowledge and skills related to problem solving, processes, automation solutions with
UiPath platform components such as UiPath Studio, Robots, and Orchestrator.

V1.4 June 2022 Page 3 of 15

 UiRPA Certification is suitable for anyone in a technical or semi-technical role who needs to work
with the UiPath RPA platform such as RPA Developers, RPA Architects, Solution Architects,
Business Analysts, and others.

The Associate (UiRPA) Certification is not a pre-requisite to achieve the Advanced (UiARD)
Certification but is strongly recommended to prepare you for this exam level.

2. UiPath Advanced RPA Developer Certification (UiARD)

UiPath Advanced RPA Developer Certification is targeted to assess a deeper level of knowledge
and skills for designing and developing complex RPA solutions. A typical candidate for achieving
this level is expected to have 6+ months of working experience in developing RPA solutions and
is ready to work independently on complex automation projects.

Each certification exam is accompanied by a detailed exam description. Each document gives
you a list of exam subjects and topics in addition to other relevant information. Please be sure to
review the relevant document thoroughly:

• UiPath RPA Associate Exam Description

Q: Practice: How do I practice before taking the exam?

Practice tests are available online and are free. The topics and questions in the practice tests
are aligned to the proctored certification exams. Please note that unlike the proctored exams,
practice tests have static questions. This means that you will receive the same questions every
time you take a practice test. In addition, you will receive a score report after the practice test
that will reflect topics you need to prepare further.

1. UiPath RPA Associate Practice Test

2. UiPath Advanced RPA Developer Practice Test

IMPORTANT NOTE: Repeatedly taking a practice test until you achieve a high score does not
ensure that you will achieve a high score on the certification exam.

Q: Pass: How do I schedule my Certification exam?

the world and as remotely proctored exams at your private location via OnVUE.
