The time invested in the CSWA/CSWP and CSWE exams also can range widely. Depending on your budget these can range from a few dollars for a new book to thousands for multi-day comprehensive training and support. Though 3DENGR supports these it is also important to point out how many free resources their are including countless tutorials and tips available here and on youtube. In addition to the cost of the exam many users rely on some form of supplemental training courses from their VAR or from a number of reliable online suppliers. In addition many VARs have vouchers that they can provide to clients, usually this is done to drive sales of training programs. If you are one of the 5000+ attendees of Solidworks World every year you will get a free voucher to take the exam. Full price for the Associate and Professional Exams (CSWA and CSWP) are $99 while the CSWE is priced at $149. The CSWP is a relatively inexpensive exam and for many users it is possible to take it for free. For the Solidworks certification, and pretty much anything else, the two primary investments are in time and money. One way to judge worth is to measure the amount of return on your investment. What will my Return On Investment (ROI) be For the CSWP? If you’re considering getting certified as way to justify a college course on Computer Aided Design the answer will be different than if you are considering it in an effort to get a promotion from CAD designer to manager. Depending on your objective on how to use the certification the answer might change.
In order to answer the question accurately we must look at what ‘worth it’ means. The question is a valid one and comes up often, on reddit’s /solidworks forum, in industry publications, and is even posted to the Solidworks forums by hiring managers asking about candidates.
If you have asked yourself this you are not alone. Before launching into Solidworks certification training courses, study tips, and practice exams for the Certified Solidworks exams you may ask yourself “Is it worth it”?
