I work in EPDM support with my company.

I have access to both Production & Development Vault; using Solidworks EPDM 2012 SP3.

I'm interested to take the CEPA Exam mentioned in the following link :

The exam pre-requisites is available with me.I have some questions : -

1. Do I need to divulge Login/Passwords of Archive & SQL Server to take the exam?

2. What is the date of the exam?

No one else has this question

  Hi Gary,
  
  The first link is for the exam itself, but doesn't mention whether I have to divulge our Archive/SQL server login-password or not.
  Also, the cost to take the exam is not declared.
  
  As per the second link, CEPA Exam was available during SWW2013.
  Is the exam still available? How can I do an online subscription for it?
  Project Management looks like an important part of the exam - any recommendation of books for this topic?
  
  I want to take the exam as soon as possible.

        All you need to do is first create a Solidworks virtual tester login account and then download the Virtual Tester Pro client and install it on your machine. Run it and login with your credentials and then plug in the CEPA exam code and off you go.
        
        Here's a link to the virtual tester site:
