Questions

What is RPA?

Robotic Process Automation uses software bots to do repetitive computer tasks, such as copying data between systems. Combined with AI and no-code tools, it lets businesses save hours of manual work every week.

Do I need to know programming?

No. Most of the training uses no-code and low-code tools. You learn what APIs are and how to connect them, which helps you build more powerful automations without becoming a programmer.

Who hires people with automation skills?

Banks, shared service centres, e-commerce companies, logistics firms and many small businesses need people who can automate routine work. Automation is also a strong freelance service.
