Which SOLIDWORKS Certifications are best?

There are many courses available, and which is best is a personal choice. As a SOLIDWORKS reseller and SOLIDWORKS recruitment specialist, we feel passing the CSWP-MD exam is a great option to give your career a boost.

As such we’ve created 3 options:

SOLIDWORKS Certification Standard - This gives you access to the CSWP exam and a link to access SOLIDWORKS for free for 7 days. 

SOLIDWORKS Certification Professional - In addition to the CSWP exam access and the 7 day SOLIDWORKS access you can enroll on our CSWP Preparation eLearning course. This will help you prepare fully with relevant exercises and SOLIDWORKS tips.

SOLIDWORKS Certification Premium - This includes access to the CSWP prep training and CSWP exam, as well as a 3 month SOLIDWORKS term license. This is a full commercial SOLIDWORKS license ideal for designers looking to start up as a SOLIDWORKS freelancer or contractor.

Why should I take the Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional eLearning prep course?

The Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional exam (CSWP exam) is a comprehensive SOLIDWORKS exam created to test advanced levels of part modelling, assembly creation and component evaluation. It’s not designed to be easy, and not everyone passes the first time. 

There are many CSWP practice papers available online, however, as an authorised SOLIDWORKS reseller, our eLearning course has been specifically designed by our in-house SOLIDWORKS experts to ensure you’re given the best training to pass at the first attempt.
