If you have decided to take a SOLIDWORKS exam, it never hurts to make sure that you've brushed up on all the concepts covered in the test, and Varsity Tutors can help you better prepare by enrolling you in a Madison SOLIDWORKS certification course. The three different levels of certification include Certified SOLIDWORKS Expert (CSWE), Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional (CSWP), and Certified SOLIDWORKS Associate (CSWA).
With 20 certifications available, there are many to choose from, depending on where your expertise lies. A few of these include CSWA-Electrical: CSWA exam, CSWP-CAM: CSWP-CAM exam, CSWP-Drawing Tools: CSWPA-DT exam, and CSWE-Simulation: CSWE-S exam.
The number of questions and the time limit for the test is going to vary depending on the exam you have chosen to take. Out of the 20 available certifications, only two exams have prerequisites. To qualify for the CSWE-S exam, you must have passed the CSWP exam, the CSWA-S exam, and the CSWP-S exam. To qualify for the CSWE exam, you must have passed the CSWP exam, and have passed at least four of the CSWP advanced topic exams (such as Sheet Metal or Drawing Tools).
By participating in a Madison SOLIDWORKS class, you can take advantage of many benefits that you may not find if you decide to study on your own. One of the major perks is having a qualified instructor lead the lessons. They are not only an expert in the subject material but also understand test-taking skills that they can pass along to you. This can include everything from knowing how to handle trickier questions to reading comprehension and knowing how to pace yourself throughout the exam.
Your instructor can involve you in the classroom environment that a Madison SOLIDWORKS class presents. You will have an opportunity to listen to lectures, to participate in learning activities that have been designed to deepen your comprehension levels and take part in many discussions about various topics, including creating tapered interlocks as part of the CSWPA-MM exam.
If a certain concept is proving more challenging for you, such as sketch entities – lines, rectangles, circles, arcs, ellipses, centerlines – which are part of the CSWA exam, you can reserve some additional assistance from your instructor in a one-on-one setting.
You can also work alongside other classmates who share similar goals. The benefits to certification include proving your skills with SOLIDWORKS and helping you potentially land a job or promotion. When classmates share this common ground, it helps foster a collaborative environment where your peers are able to offer their perspectives. When you share your knowledge with one another, it can help everyone by solidifying the information.
Something else you might find beneficial about Madison SOLIDWORKS certification training is its online nature. It is designed to be convenient so you can study from somewhere you find conducive to learning such as the Monona Public Library or the Central branch of the Madison Public Library. New sections begin each month and you can choose what kind of class you'd rather take, whether that's four or two weeks. You can also choose a class that best works with your personal and professional obligations.
When you enroll in a Madison SOLIDWORKS certification class, you can immediately start making using of the benefits. Whether you are interested in learning more about a specific topic, such as engineering mechanics – statics, which is part of the CSWA-Simulation exam, or you need to brush up on many concepts, this class could be exactly the thing you need to reach for your full potential.
