The Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional (CSWP) exam preparation course is designed for users who want to get their CSWP certification in Mechanical Design. A SOLIDWORKS instructor will guide students through the required knowledge and strategies, as well as sample exam materials, to prepare students for exam success. Students will practice with hands-on timed exercises, designed to mimic the CSWP requirements, so they will gain a thorough understanding of the exam expectations.
This course also includes the CSWP exam — a comprehensive, non-proctored online exam — that tests an individual's ability to design and analyze parametric parts and movable assemblies using a variety of complex features in SOLIDWORKS, including design validation tools. Final exam and certification are provided by SOLIDWORKS.
It is strongly suggested students have at least six months experience using SOLIDWORKS before taking this course.
Engineers and Geoscientists BC does not accredit CE offerings, but attendance at this course may be eligible for CE Hours. Information about Engineers and Geoscientists BC CE Program requirements can be found here: Continuing Education Program.
This course is currently available for StrongerBC future skills grant. Please contact CPS@kpu.ca on how to apply.
