cost-effective method to obtain credentials as a CSWP. The SWCTC program is another
way that our resellers add value to SolidWorks and meet the needs of
their customers." The Certified
SolidWorks Professional program accommodates the growing needs of
the user community measuring proficiency and providing the edge to
compete for top-ranked industry positions. Through the certification of
SolidWorks resellers the Certified Testing Centers (CTC) will create
localized testing network areas whereby users can easily access the
Certified SolidWorks Professional (CSWP) program. CATI has completed the
requirements of the Certified Testing Center Program. CATI was one of only five
value added reseller’s in the nation to participate in the CTC pilot
program. About
CSWP The purpose of the Certified SolidWorks Professional Program is to establish an industry standard through which SolidWorks professionals can be evaluated. This evaluation will be completed using a fair, comprehensive test on user knowledge of Solidworks and ability to capture and edit the design intent of a model. Completing the evaluation will accomplish two goals. First, on an individual level achieving certification will establish the user as a highly competent professional in the use of SolidWorks. Second, for the hiring managers this will act as a valuable assessment to attest for the individual’s competency. Therefore, reducing the amount of time and energy typically required to research prospective candidates abilities. About
