Solidworks Exam Prep

Certified SOLIDWORKS Professionals have proven their ability to design and analyze parametric parts and movable assemblies. UWF’s online Certified Solidworks Professional Exam Prep course will prepare you to pass the SOLIDWORKS Professional (CSWP) Exam.


This 16-week course is fully online and self-paced, but students have until the end of the semester to pass both exams. Vouchers for both the SOLIDWORKS Associate Exam (CSWA) and the CSWP Exam are included in the tuition.

Intuitive 3D design and product development solutions from SOLIDWORKS let you conceptualize, create, validate, communicate, manage and transform your innovative ideas into great product designs. You will learn how to create fast and accurate designs, including 3D models and 2D drawings of complex parts and assemblies, design for cost and manufacturing with cost estimation tools and manufacturability checks, interact with team members, and control revisions with standardized data management tools and eliminate errors and rework by using integrated motion and stress analysis tools.
