Tor gives a good overview of how companies can adopt and scale RPA, the roles and responsibilities of individual. I think its very well done. The quizzes are excellent from a pedagogic viewpoint with well crafted distractors. A lot of thoughts and effort went into this. Highly recommended.

By Lim Hang Kwong on 8/21/2023

The course was well structured and quite clearly explained. I gave it a 4 star as there were some installations of software required and I find it slightly challenging to implement the RPA process to my line of work.

By Mei Chien Lui-Wong on 2/22/2022

Appreciate the quiz as a check of understanding at the end of specific section. However, do feel lost due to the software settings that were not aligned with the courseware - hence got to spend time to trouble shoot.

By Veerabhadra Rao on 11/6/2021

The course is useful to know about What is RPA and in industry how it implement, but not went to much deeper in Technology part, his Further Learning section is most useful one. Thank you for your efforts.

Very good course for beginner for understand RPA in concept and use cases. It would be good if instructor finish the last part of demo by show how to send email via RPA without leaving the students doubt.

The Build A Robot section didnt show the real world examples of the programming so hard to gauge how effective they were or how well they work, but the rest of the course content was absolutely spectacular

By Reuben Joshua Abraham on 4/7/2020

It was a real short but extremely informative course. The fundamentals of RPA as well as creating a simple bot were covered in just little over 2 hours. Would recommend this course as well as Mr. Tor to my friends.

Able to communicate RPA from both a business and consultant standpoint based on the speaker's experience. A lot of notes are communicated via speech hence note taking is advisable for this course :) Overall a good concept + hands on (build a robot) experience Cheers!
