Academy for Continuing Education (ACE)

Aimed to help you implement UiPath processes with ease, this course addresses common pain points often experienced by new UiPath robotic process automation (RPA) developers. These include:

• Management of date format and culture in UiPath
• Email automation (with images, tables, and hyperlinks within the email body)
• Management of automation for Excel, World, and PDF files

There will also be a practical project consultation session, where you get to implement a work-related project under the close guidance of a trainer; putting the concepts and techniques learnt in class into practice.

Upon completing the course, you may extend your RPA capabilities by progressing through Stage 3 of this structured pathway:

• Stage 1: goRPA
• Stage 2: goRPA Advanced
• Stage 3: goRPA Expert

Learning Objectives

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

• Apply good practices in RPA projects
• Select various user input options in RPA projects
• Develop automation processes with Excel Automation
• Perform advanced debugging and waiting techniques in RPA projects
• Manipulate data table and various data types (advanced) in RPA projects
• Implement Microsoft Word automation in RPA projects
• Implement PDF automation in RPA projects
• Apply advanced date time conversion in RPA projects
• Experiment with Orchestrator
• Implement automated login to systems in RPA projects

Who Should Attend?

• RPA developers
• RPA citizen developers
• RPA solutions architects
• Executives, professionals, and data analysts who are trained in basic UiPath
• Individuals who use UiPath regularly
• Individuals interested to take on the UiPath Associate Developer Certification

Entry Requirement

You must fulfil one of the following requirements:

• Completed the goRPA course; or
• Possess intermediate skills in UiPath

Experience in implementing at least two UiPath RPA processes is strongly encouraged.

Certification

Participants will be awarded a certificate of completion upon meeting the 75% course attendance requirement.

For courses with formal assessment component, participants will be awarded the certification of completion upon passing the assessment. Otherwise, a certification of attendance will be issued instead upon meeting the 75% course attendance requirement.

Trainer's Profile

Mr Eugene Tham graduated from the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) with a bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering (First Class). He also holds two master’s degrees – Masters in Computer Science from NTU, and Masters in Engineering and Management from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

He has been teaching in Republic Polytechnic (RP) since 2006. Previously, he worked in DSO National Laboratories as an embedded systems software engineer for six years. For most of his career, Mr Tham focused on software coding, embedded systems, and micro-controllers. His alternate interest lies in electronics and product design. Mr Tham is also passionate about service-learning. He has been leading various local and overseas service-learning projects for more than a decade; enriching the learning experience of his students.

Mr Tham is a strong proponent of RPA. He is well-versed in Workfusion, UiPath, and Power Automate. He holds the UiPath’s Advanced Developer Certification. Today, he imparts his skills and knowledge in RPA and business workflow automation (BWA) through RP’s short courses. With his experience in RPA project consultations, he co-crafted the goRPA Advanced and goRPA Expert short courses targeted to help practitioners with their RPA projects.

Ms Eng Pei Chee graduated with an Engineering bachelor’s and master’s degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the University of Technology Malaysia. She joined Republic Polytechnic (RP) in 2016 as a lecturer. Ms Eng enjoys sharing her knowledge and working alongside youths. Prior to joining RP, she taught at the Southern University College in Malaysia. Her lecturing experience provides her an in-depth knowledge on the academic work of an Institute of Higher Learning. She also served as a project engineer with V.S. Electronic Sdn, Bhd.

With her proficient coding skills in C/C++, VB, and Python, she has been actively involved in RP’s Robotic Process Automation (RPA) short courses since 2019. She also helped various organisations to leverage powerful automation and supported them with the implementation. Experienced in RPA project consultations, Ms Eng co-crafted the goRPA Advanced and goRPA Expert short courses to help practitioners with their RPA projects.
