Blue Prism Certified Solution Designer Exam Format

ASD01

Everything the official exam blueprint specifies: question count, time limit, scoring and the weight each domain carries. The Blue Prism Solution Designer certification validates an individual's ability to architect, design, and document enterprise-grade RPA solutions using the Blue Prism platform. This exam goes beyond developer-level skills, focusing on strategic thinking, infrastructure planning, security governance, and stakeholder communication. Candidates must demonstrate deep understanding of Blue Prism components, design patterns, and deployment models to ensure automations are scalable, maintainable, and compliant. The certification is ideal for professionals transitioning from developer roles to solution architect positions or for senior RPA practitioners seeking formal recognition of their design expertise. It emphasizes real-world application of architectural principles, covering everything from environment setup to performance optimization. Passing this exam confirms that a professional can lead the design phase of RPA projects, making critical decisions that impact the entire automation lifecycle.

Note from the vendor record: PRICE: Certification retired: the official Blue Prism renewal page lists 'Solution Designer' among the retired certifications (alongside ROM Architect, Installation Engineer v5/v6 and Technical Architect v5/v6); there is no certification page and no exams available, so no official fee is in force.
