Q: What happens to the old RPA Developer Advanced Certification?
If you hold a UiPath RPA Developer Advanced certification obtained through our legacy program, your credential was valid only until 30 June, 2021 and your legacy certification is no longer available for download.

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.
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:

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.
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.
