C. Preparation
Step 1: Complete the Foundation Course
Prerequisites:

 Register on the Blue Prism portal (https://portal.blueprism.com/)

 Install Blue Prism software along with MS SQL Server

Register on the Blue Prism portal and navigate to the BP Foundation Course. You can find the foundation
course at the following path on the BP portal.

Click on the “University” tab -> Select “Training Offering (via LMS)” option. You should see the Blue
Prism Foundation Training as show in the screenshot. Click on the “Start Here” and it will redirect you to
the training. There are 12 sections in the training which provide a basic understanding on the topics
listed in syllabus. All the modules will have some basic BP processes created to explain the concepts. It
would help in understanding the concepts well if you can try recreating those processes in Blue Prism.

Step 2: Study the Blue Prism Training Guides

You can find training guides on various topics at https://portal.blueprism.com/documents/standard on

the Blue Prism portal. Download the guides for all the topics from the syllabus. These guides are very
concise and important in preparation for the exam.

For more details you can always refer to the additional guides at the above link.

Step 3: Solve the Mock Tests/Dumps

Once you are through with the first two steps, you can go through the mock tests available on the
Internet to get a flavor of the exam and test your understanding. I have attached a sample exam dump.
For more, you can refer to Udemy website where BP AD01 mock tests are available for under Rs. 500.
