Robot/SCHEDULE Certification

Thank you for your interest in our Help/Systems Robot Product Certification program. Use the tabs below for more information about the Robot/SCHEDULE certification process.

Follow these steps to prepare for and complete your Robot product certification:

 1. Evaluate your experience level.

Take a realistic look at how well you understand the product and decide whether you need to study or train (see the Prerequisites tab).

2. Study and train (if necessary).

If you are new to the Robot product, or feel you need hands-on experience, check the resources that we have available and consider taking an online class or using One-on-One Consulting (see the Resources tab).

3. Register for your exams.

When you feel that you have enough knowledge of the Robot product, you can register for your exams (see the Register tab).

For Robot/SCHEDULE certification, you should have a working knowledge of the following aspects of Robot/SCHEDULE: 

  • Job Setup Using Scheduling Codes
  • Schedule Override Codes
  • Job Monitor Options
  • Reactive Jobs
