SOLIDWORKS CSWP

Our Certification Days give customers the opportunity to work through the certification system with a qualified Applications Engineer present to help prepare you for the format of the SOLIDWORKS exams and to help reinforce some of the functionality that may be necessary to pass. This is FREE for all customers with an active subscription contract or who are Training Passport holders. Click to view the schedule for upcoming classroom certification events.

For the immediate future we will be hosting these online so keep an eye out for your email invite. Our first online CSWA Event was a huge success, with over 1000 customer registrations it was the largest SOLIDWORKS certification event ever. Even more impressively there was a 93% pass rate!

To pass the CSWP you'll need to be able to accurately create parts, assemblies and configurations and have knowledge of drawings in SOLIDWORKS. Although these areas are all introduced within the SOLIDWORKS Essentials training course, the CSWP is a challenging exam so we would advise further training to maximise your chance of passing. The Drawings, Advanced Part and Assembly Modelling courses cover all the required topics for the CSWP and beyond.

Training recap material is available for the Silver Training Passport courses which cover the core tools found in SOLIDWORKS Standard through to Premium. You can revisit the subjects from each course using a combination of narrated videos, information slides, interactive walkthroughs and quiz questions. The training reviews are available from the My Account -> My Training Courses section of our website, you must have attended a course to view the training recap material for that course.

Get a feel for the style of questions you’ll be asked by practicing with this sample paper. The sample paper includes part and assembly modelling questions along with a selection of multiple choice knowledge questions. The sample questions are also available from within the testing client which you can use to simulate the real test conditions if you'd prefer.

SOLIDWORKS Model Mania is a speed modelling competition that runs every year that tests how fast users can create an accurate model based on some 2D drawings. Following that there is always a second phase that requires edits to be made to the part. In this way the model mania is very similar to some of the certification exam questions. SOLIDWORKS have recently compiled the last 21 years of Model Mania questions, these should provide great practice as the modelling required is similar to the CSWA & CSWP exams.
