Starting level and linkage with other courses

The student must be ready for self-directed planning of the work and independent information seeking by using discussion forums, among others. No programming experience is required but the student must possess a trial-and-error approach for solving the hands-on exercises of automation.

Implementation methods, demonstration and Work&Study

The course is virtual and it's based on individual assignments and self-directed proceeding within a flexible time frame. However, depending on the implementation it may contain visitor lectures that may not be recorded.

Recognition of prior learning (RPL)
If students have acquired the required competence in previous work tasks, recreational activities or on another certified course, they can show their competence via a demonstration. The demonstration must be agreed with the course teacher. More information and instructions for recognising and validating prior learning (RPL) are available at https://www.haaga-helia.fi/en/recognition-learning Look at "Instructions to students (master)"

Assessment criteria - grade 1

The student understands the basic concepts of robotic automation and its application for business process improvement. They manage the basic use of the automation tool and are capable of designing an automation of a simple task.

Assessment criteria - grade 3

The student has a good understanding of the robotic automation concepts and its application for business process improvement. They manage the use of the automation tool well and are capable of designing a business process automation.

Assessment criteria - grade 5

The student has an excellent understanding of the robotic automation concepts and its application for business process improvement. They manage the use of the automation tool excellently and are capable of designing a challenging business process automation.

Learning materials

The learning material is mainly composed of video lessons, articles, visitor lectures, discussions on forums and tutorials of software tools. The assignments include multi-choice quizzes, automation hands-on exercises and a design assignment.

Further information

When the implementation type of the course is contact, online or blended it is required that the student is present during those teaching hours that are marked in the study schedule. If you are absent more than 25%, your grade will be lowered by one. If you are absent more than 50%, the course is failed.
