We have a job candidate who is CSWA certified and, though they have used CAD and solid modeling professionally for many years, learned SW on a student version and has never used SW for work.

So, could one pass the CSWA and still not have the SW skills to function at work? I am not talking about all the other skills and abilities that go into being a mechanical engineer, just the CAD part. How would you compare this person with someone who seems equally talented and has used SW professionally for awhile, but is not certified?

Thanks

Dwight
