Business Process Automation Certification Course

Course Description

This course is about learning to automate business processes using methods like RPA (Robotic Process Automation). It’s a skill that’s in high demand as businesses look for ways to work faster, save money, and reduce errors.

In the course, you’ll learn how to:

  • Spot and outline a process that’s ready for automation
  • Plan an automation project
  • Create a PDD (Process Definition Document), a key document in process automation
  • Understand what automation is and how process automation fits in
  • See a real-life example of automation in action

The course is a mix of practical and theoretical learning. It aims to give you the confidence to identify a process that needs automation and the steps to make it happen. It covers the work you need to do (like process mapping and project management) and the work developers do (like production and testing).

The course doesn’t teach you the technical skills to build the automation. Instead, it teaches you how to run an automation project, how to find and prioritize processes that are ready for automation, and how to do the internal work (like planning and mapping) to get the automation done. These non-technical skills are very important for coordinating and delivering the work needed.

“This is a good course for those who have no to very basic background on process improvement. The content is just right, not too overwhelming for me. The topics are discussed properly. I appreciate the examples given which make each topic easier to understand.”
Beverly

“In my position, everyone suddenly want this kind of RCA, but no one really knew how to do it. It was simple but I felt I was doing it wrong. This course broke it down to the simple steps it is supposed to be to complete. Easy to follow and great examples.”
Athena

“This course adds a lot more insight to the tool than you get from a simple template. I now know how to sell usage of the tool across my business - something I have really struggled with.”

“Truly brilliant. A great flow, a really knowledgeable instructor and great resources. I have had some trouble understanding the delivery of Lean, purpose and method - now I feel so much more confident. Thank you Robert.”
Benjamin
From London, UK
“An absolutely amazing course. It has a clear structure and as the slides are present I do not have to make notes. Also - all of the important definitions are being accompanied by demonstrations in practice of the tool by which I could understand the true meaning of them. The way the course is presented is nice to follow, language is impeccable and the speed is not to fast. Usually in other courses from Udemy I can see a definition of a problem directly followed by example with a lot of fluff, but those extra unneeded false interactions with learners make the course only longer and makes me usually loose my focus. In this course I did not experience it at all. It was to the point and I have actually learned something that I can directly use in my work. Thank you! PS I will for sure follow the other courses of the instructor!”
