I thought this RPA course was quite useful. The questions walked through the basics of what RPA is, how it goes beyond Excel macros, and where it’s already used in real life like finance, tax, audit, government, even big tech. That made the topic feel concrete, not just buzzwords. I also liked the focus on skills and tools: how RPA changes everyday work, which competencies matter (IT, problem-solving), and where to look up vendors and software reviews. If anything, I’d just add more hands-on demos or a small practice project. Overall, it’s a clear and practical introduction to RPA and its impact on modern office work.

An information filled, very lucid narrative on Robotic Process Automation with a most impressive deck of slides (redundant). I took notes from the slides in the course of the interview, preparing an abstract of the presentation. I strongly recommend this presentation in its entirety.
