Microsoft is looking for Power Automate Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Developers to take our new beta exam. RPA developers automate time-consuming and repetitive tasks by using Microsoft Power Automate. They review solution requirements, create process documentation, design, develop, troubleshoot, and evaluate solutions. They support the deployment of solutions to production environments.
These developers also work with business stakeholders to improve and automate business workflows. They collaborate with administrators to deploy solutions to production environments and support solutions.
If this is your skill set, we have a new certification for you. The Microsoft Certified: Power Automate Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Developer, Associate certification validates your expertise in this area and offers you the opportunity to prove your skills. To earn this certification, pass PL-500: Microsoft Power Automate Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Developer exam (currently in beta).
Is this the right certification for you?
This certification could be a great fit if you have significant experience with JSON, cloud flows/desktop flows, integrating solutions with REST/SOAP services, analyzing data by using Microsoft Excel, VBScript, Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), HTML, JavaScript, one or more programming languages, and the Microsoft Power Platform suite of tools (AI Builder, Power Apps, Microsoft Dataverse, and Power Virtual Agents).
