CSWP : Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional
About Certification
The CSWP exam is a comprehensive, non-proctored online exam that tests an individual’s ability to design and analyze parametric parts and movable assemblies using a variety of complex features in SOLIDWORKS, including design validation tools. A Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional is an individual that has successfully passed this exam.
The CSWP certification sets you apart as a person who has surpassed the basic skills of SOLIDWORKS and who has developed an advanced understanding of the software. Achieving certification establishes you as a highly competent professional in the use of SOLIDWORKS. For hiring managers, it acts as a valuable assessment to attest for an individual’s competency, thereby reducing the amount of time and energy required to research prospective candidates.
