How do I get a SOLIDWORKS certificate?

With a passing rate of only about 80%, even the most seasoned engineers need CSWP practice to successfully pass the exam and earn a certificate. Passing the CSWP exam is challenging, but that’s the point. If it was easy, then anyone could do it and it wouldn’t differentiate you from the crowd. So, before you purchase your CSWP exam, you’ll need to prepare and practice.

How to Prepare for the CSWP Exam

How do I purchase a SOLIDWORKS exam?

  1. Visit the SOLIDWORKS Certification online store.
  2. Add the exam to your cart.
  3. Choose your language preference and currency.
  4. View your cart and purchase the exam.

Note: Unlike other software certification tests, you can take SOLIDWORKS certification exams at your convenience and in the comfort of your own home or office. No testing center needed.

What happens after I pass the CSWP exam?

  1. You’ll receive an email with a link to the SOLIDWORKS electronic certificate access page. From there, you’ll be able to download and print your electronic certificate and business card logo.
  2. You’ll have the option to add your name to the CSWP online directory.
  3. You can add your new certification to your resume and LinkedIn profile.

How much does a SOLIDWORKS certification cost?
