UiPath Certified Professional FAQ

These two certifications are new and refreshed version of RPA Associate and Advanced RPA Developer certifications.

3-year validity period 

Starting from October 13, 2023, all UiPath Certified Professional Certifications have a 3-year valid period. In the ever-changing landscape of automation, the demand for proficient professionals is constant. To remain at the cutting edge, it is essential to keep your knowledge and skills up to date. With the introduction of a 3-year validity period, we foster a culture of continuous learning, encouraging you to refresh your skills and stay relevant throughout your career trajectory. This approach empowers you to be competitive and adaptable in the face of evolving automation trends. 

Professional (Formerly Advanced) level exam price adjustment 

The newly introduced Automation Developer Professional Exam is priced at 300 USD, the same as the other professional level exam, the Automation Business Analyst Professional. We understand that this is an adjustment from its predecessor. The reason for that is the cost to maintain and re-invest into the program has been rising in the past few years since the program launch. We want to assure you that this adjustment is necessary to continue providing the high-quality certification experience and resources that you expect from UiPath. 

The Associate level certification exam fee will remain the same, providing a relatively affordable entry point for the aspiring/new Automation Developers. 

Unused, valid vouchers for the retired exams

We will honor unused, valid vouchers for RPA Associate Exam and Advanced RPA Developer Exam.    

• A voucher for Advanced RPA Developer that covers 100% of the exam fee can be used to pay for 100% exam fee for the Automation Developer Professional Exam.  If you have a voucher that fully covers the cost of the Advanced RPA Developer certification, you can use it to take the Automation Developer Professional Exam without any additional payment.

• If you have an Advanced RPA Developer Exam voucher that pays 50% of the Exam Fee, this voucher covers 50% of the Automation Developer Professional Exam fee.

• The policy for any unused RPA Associate vouchers is the same, however, they apply to the Automation Developer Associate Exam.

Renaming of Automation Business Analyst Certification  

The Automation Business Analyst will be renamed to Automation Business Analyst Professional to align with the updated program framework. For the existing credential holders, your credential remains active and there is no action required; However, please be aware that wherever you have shared your digital badge, the badge image will continue to display the older name.
