Hey All!
I took advantage of the recent offer for the free CSWA exam and passed it.
I am interested in continuing the certification process and am wondering about how to go about it.
I have the 2014-2015 Student Edition which I purchased as a veteran rather than a student.
For the most part I am self taught on SolidWorks having been pretty much self taught on Alibre Design/Cubify Design/GeoMagic Design (whichever you want to call it).
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Greg
Practice, practice, practice.
Use the built in tutorials. YouTube has great tutorials as well. Take a look at my.solidworks.com for even more tutorials. Did I mention practice?
Thank you so much for mentioning the Veteran's edition which is available to all veterans - the only requirement is that you must be able to show your discharge papers. This is a great program which is gaining awareness! I have mentioned it in a couple of my SW User Group meetings and I know of at least 2 people who have purchased it.
Greg, congrats on being CSWA.
You can get more details about certifications here: MCAD Certification Programs for SOLIDWORKS
You can buy the exam by visiting the exam store: SOLIDWORKS Exam Store
You could also check and join (in case you've not) your local SOLIDWORKS User groups (those are great resources for learning and other information) as they sometimes are given free codes for exams: SOLIDWORKS User Group Network
Best of luck.
