If you are like me, ready to learn UiPath as a beginner you are in the right place. I will do my best by showing you where to go, what to learn and what to practice – which I think is the most important thing because if you don’t practice, you’ll forget it.

The first thing you have to do is to create an account with the UiPath Academy.

Congratulation!
Choose the right Learning Plan
UiPath offers two types of certifications. The first one is suitable for any RPA role, including Junior RPA Developers, RPA Architects, Solution Architects, Business Analysts, college graduates, and others. Also, known as UIRPA.
The second one is more for technical RPA roles such as advanced RPA Developers, Solution Architects, RPA Architects, and others.
I recommend learning them in the same order. First, go through the UIRPA courses, and take the exam, followed by UIARD.
Each exam has its own Learning Plan. What you have to do is to click on the following link and Enroll. I will do my best to help you understand each lesson. Let the journey begin.
