The real graded Robotic Process Automation tasks the portal assigns, grouped into three levels.
The portal assigns these Robotic Process Automation tasks. Finish Level 1 before Level 2 and Level 2 before Level 3. Your mentor may mark some tasks as required for the certificate.
Level 1: Foundations (12 tasks)
Task
What to do
What RPA is
In a repo named rpa-internship, explain RPA, attended versus unattended bots and 5 business processes that suit automation, with reasons.
Install UiPath Studio
Install UiPath Studio Community Edition, connect it to UiPath Automation Cloud (free) and run a Hello World message box.
Variables and arguments
Build a workflow that asks for a name and marks, uses variables of different types and shows a grade.
Control flow
Use If, Switch, For Each and While activities to process a list of 20 invoices and total them by status.
Excel automation
Read an Excel sheet of students, filter those below 75% attendance and write them to a new sheet.
Data tables
Build, filter, sort and join two data tables (orders and customers) and export the result.
UI automation basics
Automate filling a practice web form (for example the RPA Challenge site) with data from Excel.
Selectors
Explain full and partial selectors, fix a broken selector and make one reliable with wildcards or anchors.
Email automation
Read emails from a test mailbox, save attachments to a folder and reply with a confirmation.
PDF data extraction
Extract invoice number, date and amount from 5 text PDFs and write them to Excel.
Error handling
Add Try Catch, Retry Scope and logging to a workflow, and show what happens when a file is missing.
Process document
Write a process definition document (PDD) for a manual task: steps, inputs, outputs, exceptions and time spent today.
Level 2: Building real features (10 tasks)
Task
What to do
REFramework
Build a project on the Robotic Enterprise Framework that processes queue items with init, get transaction, process and end states.
Orchestrator queues
Publish your bot to Orchestrator, add queue items and run it as an unattended job. Show the results and logs.
Assets and credentials
Move settings and a login to Orchestrator assets and credentials instead of hard-coding them.
Business and system exceptions
Handle a business rule exception (invalid data) separately from a system exception (app crash) with retries only for system errors.
Reading web tables
Read a public data table from a website that allows it, clean it and save it to Excel with the date.
Document Understanding
Use UiPath Document Understanding (or OCR) to read 10 sample invoices and check the extracted fields.
API integration
Call a REST API (for example a currency or PIN-code API) from UiPath, parse the JSON and use the values.
Reusable libraries
Turn repeated steps (login, Excel read) into a reusable library and use it in two processes.
Testing a bot
Write test cases for your bot with UiPath Test Suite or test workflows, including bad input.
Coding standards
Review your project against UiPath best practices: naming, annotations, argument use, logging and folder structure.
Level 3: Professional work and capstone (8 tasks)
Task
What to do
End-to-end business process
Automate a full process like GST invoice entry or college admission data entry from email to Excel to a web app, with exception reports.
AI in automation
Add an AI step (classify emails with an LLM or a UiPath AI Center model) to route work to the right queue.
Scheduling and monitoring
Schedule your bot with triggers, monitor runs in Orchestrator and set an alert for failures.
ROI calculation
Measure the manual time versus bot time for your process and calculate hours and money saved per month.
Solution design document
Write a solution design document (SDD) for your capstone: architecture, workflows, exceptions, credentials and run schedule.
Governance
Explain how bots store passwords, handle personal data and get access rights, and check your bot against these rules.
Certification prep
Make notes and 30 practice questions for the UiPath Certified Automation Developer Associate exam topics.
Capstone: production-ready bot
Deliver a complete unattended automation on REFramework with queues, assets, logs, tests, PDD and SDD. Submit the repo and a 2-minute video of it running.
