The CSWP is targeted to users who are using SOLIDWORKS actively in a work environment or at least are using the software on a full-time basis (at least 40 hours a week) for at least six months or more. The CSWA is targeted to users who are just starting out with SOLIDWORKS and have gone through all the tutorials as well as taken some basic classes. There are basically two exams that test SOLIDWORKS fundamentals: the Certified SOLIDWORKS Associate (CSWA) and the Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional (CSWP) exams. For example, if you attempted the CSWE back in September of 2018, you are now eligible to make your 2019 comeback debut by retesting and adding yourself to our elite list of SOLIDWORKS Experts upon successful completion.įor those of you who are new to the SOLIDWORKS Certification program, wondering what all these exam acronyms mean or wanting to learn more about the different levels of certifications we offer, please read on. If you are asking yourself, what if I already took the CSWE exam one month ago, two months ago, three months ago or longer does this change still apply to me? Yes it does, so wait no longer! If you have already taken the CSWE exam and it’s been 90 days, you can now re-test. The CSWP exam segments 1, 2, and 3 were already set to 14 days and remain unchanged.

The Certified SOLIDWORKS Expert ( CSWE) which is considered to be the most challenging exam we offer has now been changed from 180 days, to just 90 days! All other exams that had a 30-day waiting policy, such as the CSWA, has been changed to 14 days and now coincides with the same retake policy as the CSWPexam segments. As of January 1, 2019, we have changed our re-take policy on all our customer-facing and academic certification exams.
