Blue Prism Certified Technical Architect Exam Format

TA03

Everything the official exam blueprint specifies: question count, time limit, scoring and the weight each domain carries. The Blue Prism Technical Architect (v7) certification validates the ability to design, architect, and oversee enterprise-scale robotic process automation (RPA) solutions built on the Blue Prism platform. This advanced-level exam tests comprehensive knowledge of infrastructure design (including high availability, security, and disaster recovery), solution design best practices (object and process design, exception handling, queue management), and operational aspects such as release management and troubleshooting. Candidates are expected to lead technical discussions, define deployment architectures, and ensure that automations are secure, scalable, and maintainable. The exam is intended for experienced professionals who have deep practical experience with Blue Prism and can translate business requirements into robust technical designs. Passing this certification demonstrates mastery across architecture, design, infrastructure, security, and governance domains, making it a key credential for senior technical roles in RPA.
