The exams focus not only on different tools, but your model’s efficiency and robustness. It also helps to see and work with different models, in order to build some experience with the techniques SOLIDWORKS is looking for you to know. Seeing the differences between practice exams may spark some things that may not have been represented in the first practice exam. Consider looking at all the practice exams, even the ones you do not plan on taking. You can find practice exams directly on the SOLIDWORKS website in the quick links portion of the exam description (see below). We have had many comments from students about how much they picked up, as well as how much they missed the first time through! We like to include many “tips and tricks” in our classes.īack to the Certifications. One thing about SOLIDWORKS training classes offered by CADimensions is that you will learn a lot more than what is on the syllabus. The SOLIDWORKS website (link above) lists the recommended training courses for each exam in case you are unsure of what class to attend. If you have not attended any SOLIDWORKS classes, that would be a great starting point. If you attend the Advanced Part Modeling and the Advanced Assembly classes, and are comfortable with all the lessons, then you should be more than ready for the CSWP. For the CSWP, it is necessary to sit through the SOLIDWORKS Essentials class (at a minimum).

I believe these are an absolute must in order to prepare for the exam. īefore embarking on an exam, ask yourself, “Have I attended a SOLIDWORKS certified training class in this specific exam area?” The specialty exams, like Surfacing (CSWPA-SU) and Mold Tools (CSWPA-MT), have classes that focus only on those tools.

If you are unfamiliar with the SOLIDWORKS Certifications, check out the link below. It doesn’t matter which exam you are preparing to take, this post will hopefully help you get ready. What I would like to talk about today is not how to prepare for a specific exam, like the CSWP (Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional), but prepare you for any SOLIDWORKS exam that you may take.
