RPA Instructor-Led Training Pivots to Virtual amid Coronavirus

Necessary precautions amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak have changed the nature of our communities, society, and the ways we do business. They’re also altering the ways we learn, as virtual learning becomes a primary focus for many — from schools and universities to how organizations train and develop their employees.

As our world has changed, so has Automation Anywhere University (AAU) with RPA courses to support learning, our customers, and partners as we all navigate these changes together. As companies strive to mitigate disruption and forge a new path forward in a COVID-19 world, automating repetitive business tasks and building a Digital Workforce using Robotic Process Automation (RPA) can help ensure business continuity.

One immediate step we’ve taken to ease the effects of the pandemic is to bring our global RPA training organization to you through virtual instructor-led trainings. Virtual instruction can provide a foundation and level of RPA expertise to get you and your team up to speed quickly to begin or expand the automation of business processes.

Less than two months ago, we shared insights on the benefits of in-person instructor-led trainings. Those insights haven’t changed, but the classroom delivery mechanism has.

What is virtual instructor-led training?

As the phrase implies, virtual instructor-led training is not limited by geography or location. It offers both individuals and businesses the opportunity to learn RPA in an immersive, interactive setting with our expert trainers — which means you still benefit from the guidance of our trainers.

Not only does this give you accountability, but it can also give you peace of mind knowing that any questions you have about the material can be answered immediately by your instructor.

Open-enrollment virtual instructor-led training is available now for two classes: “Mastering Bots (Enterprise A2019) & IQ Bot Essentials” and the comprehensive “Advanced Developer/Solution Architect Workshop.” These are the same in-depth classroom experiences led by expert RPA trainers to teach you how to build, deploy, and manage bots — no matter what part of the RPA journey your business is in: starting, accelerating, or scaling.

Become a bot builder & ensure business continuity

In the four-day “Mastering Bots & IQ Bot Essentials” training, you’ll learn how to design and build an advanced Digital Workforce using Automation Anywhere Enterprise A2019 and artificial intelligence (AI)-powered IQ Bot. You’ll have ample opportunities to experience hands-on bot building and get feedback on your work from your instructor.

Limited to a small number of learners at a time, this course is separated into two three-hour sessions each day. It’s recommended that learners complete the following prerequisite e-learning courses, which are available online for free and can be completed in just under seven hours: 

• Hello A2019 Bot: Getting Started with Building Bots
• Building Resilient Bots
• Developing Bots for Scale
• Unleash Your Intelligent Bots
• Bots That Learn
• Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) with IQ Bot

Once you finish this virtual instructor-led class, you’ll be equipped to build your own bots to automate repetitive tasks and increase productivity.

Advance your RPA development skills

In the three-day “Advanced Developer/Solution Architect Workshop,” you’ll build on your RPA knowledge, gaining expertise to architect large-scale bot deployments with industry standards and best practices. You’ll also take a deeper dive into the bot development lifecycle, architecture, and security of the Enterprise RPA platform, as well as some of the environments it supports, including Citrix, VMware, and the cloud.

To meet the requirements for this training, you’ll need to have completed the Advanced RPA Professional certification, at least one year of RPA experience, and five years of industry experience.

This course is also limited to a small group of learners and is separated into two three-hour sessions each day. Upon class completion, you’ll be able to identify and translate business requirements into detailed bot solution designs and build governance to successfully deliver end-to-end RPA process solutions.
