In today’s job market, it is important to have an edge, and the CSWP or similar can give you that edge. Secondly, if you have the CSWP and another candidate doesn’t, then you stand out. We have seen some employers specifying this as a requirement now on job postings, so why is it important? Firstly, it shows that you can use the software to a good level – this exam is fairly taxing for the general SOLIDWORKS user, and they are structured in such a way that you need to build a good model with design intent included from the start.
The CSWP is well recognised in the USA, and is fast gaining traction in the UK. All the SOLIDWORKS exams are done online through virtual tester (an online testing facility) most answers are multiple choice, or ask you to fill in specific values from the model. This has been split into three exams, ranging from 50 minutes to 80 minutes in duration – the first section covers part modelling, the second is on configurations, and the third covers assembly creation. The most recognised of these is the Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional (or CSWP) exam. There are also some additional exams to test your knowledge in areas such as the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform as well as some certification programs offered by SOLIDWORKS partners such as DriveWorks. There are seventeen individual exams that SOLIDWORKS users can take, ranging from specific exams in Sheet Metal , to a generic ones for the creation of drawings. We find that it is a great measure of skill and the preparation is also a really good way to learn the software. All our technical support team have a large number of certifications. Most companies now operate a skill development program, which could include a certain number of these exams.Īt Innova Systems, we put a huge amount of emphasis on the SOLIDWORKS certification – as it is our job to know the software inside out. They are also a good marker to gauge your personal development. SOLIDWORKS certifications are a great way to showcase and advertise your skill with SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD software.
