Q: What's changing in UiPath Academy?
UiPath Academy is now transitioning to UiPath Automation Cloud. This move aims to enhance the learning experience and make it easier to access additional UiPath services.
The benefits of this transition are:
Integrated in Automation Cloud. Users will be able to access Academy from Automation Cloud as well as more easily navigate to other UiPath products directly from Academy.
Built in house. This will allow us to build new features, enhance existing ones and act on user feedback without the limitations of a 3rd party platform.
Q: Do I need to do anything as part of this change?
UiPath Academy is now part of Automation Cloud. As such, users who do not have an Automation Cloud account will be prompted to create a Cloud Organization. Creating an organization takes a minute and we recommend that the organization name be your Last Name.
Here is the step-by-step process:
01. Go to http://academy.uipath.com and press LOG IN.
02. Choose your method of login. You can use the email and password option (Continue with Email) or one of the social logins (Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn).
03. You will be prompted to create a Cloud organization. Click on Create Organization.
04. Create a Display Name, choose your Country, and tick or untick (based on your preferences) the box for “Send me information about UiPath products, events, and promotions. See Privacy Policy”.
05. You will be prompted to create a Cloud Organization. We recommend that the organization name be your Last Name. Please Note: your Cloud organization name must NOT contain any spaces or else your will encounter an error! (e.g. “Organization 1” - Incorrect; “Organization1” - Correct).
06. Once you click on Create Organization you will be directed to the UiPath Academy. Next time you will access http://academy.uipath.com you will be logged in directly to the UiPath Academy.

The UiPath Academy content
Q: Why should I create an account when there are so many other open learning resources about UiPath out there?
We, at UiPath, feel fortunate that so many people are creating learning content around the UiPath Platform capabilities. Some of them are just as good as UiPath Academy.
UiPath Academy’s value proposition comes from the following:
Our unique role-based education approach, where we’re helping learners identify their best career path and then offer the content.
The coverage of all the UiPath Platform components, not just the core RPA capabilities. This includes API automation, test automation, document understanding, data mining, and so on.
Direct access to the latest advancements of the UiPath Platform.
Q: Where should I start learning?
If you’re looking to use automation in your career, we recommend taking our Gen AI-powered Career Guidance Survey on the Academy Home Page. If you want to find out more about what the UiPath technology is and can do, Automation Starter is the best place.
Q: There are 3 pages: Courses, Learning Plans, and Career Paths. What’s the difference between them?
Companies getting the highest ROI out of automation are those who hire and train the right automation practitioners, such as developers or business analysts. Career Paths is the place where you can find out more about automation roles, skillsets, and learning journeys.
A course is a learning unit built around a specific learning goal related to a UiPath technology (Excel automation), component (UiPath Document Understanding), or capability (Error and Exception Handling).
A learning plan combines multiple Academy courses necessary to reach a certain level in a role-based career path (for example, Automation Developer Associate, Specialized AI Professional, and so on).
Q: What are the roles that UiPath Academy offers content for?
Our approach to role-based education is research-driven. There are currently 5 roles for which the research has been finalized: Automation Developer, Automation Business Analyst, Specialized AI Professional, Automation Infrastructure Engineer, and Automation Solution Architect. We’re already working on the next batch. You can monitor the Career Paths page to stay up to date.
