If I would happen to get my CSWA certification this weekend, for example, how long is the certification good for? I was told by someone that it's only good for one year. It seems quite absurd to spend $99 per year and have to take another test every year. I've tried to look on the Solidworks website in the certification section and could not find anything.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's good forever. CSWPs are good until then as well. The only certs that I know need to be done every year are with the VARs to keep their technical certifications up.
