SOLIDWORKS Certification Courses range from a knowledge of core SOLIDWORKS functionality to application-specific tools like Sheet Metal or Weldments, as well as proficiency with add-in products such as PDM and Simulation. Demonstrate your expertise and earn a SOLIDWORKS certification complete with a digital badge. With a digital badge, you can share your achievements with employers and your professional network. Below is MLC CAD Systems recommended path to become a Certified SOLIDWORKS Expert.

SOLIDWORKS Essentials teaches you how to use the SOLIDWORKS mechanical design automation software to build parametric models of parts and assemblies, and how to make drawings of those parts and assemblies.

A Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional is an individual that has successfully passed our advanced skills examination. Each CSWP has proven their ability to design and analyze parametric parts and moveable assemblies using a variety of complex features in SOLIDWORKS.

The completion of the Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional Advanced Drawing Tools (CSWPA-DT) exam proves that you have successfully demonstrated your ability to use the tools found in the SOLIDWORKS Drawing environment.

Sheet Metal teaches you how to build sheet metal parts using SOLIDWORKS mechanical design automation software. Building standalone sheet metal parts, converting conventional parts to sheet metal, and in assembly contexts, are covered.

The Certified SOLIDWORKS Expert (CSWE) certification is considered an industry benchmark for 3D design and is a strong addition to your portfolio of SOLIDWORKS knowledge. There are two variations that allow you to specialize in a specific area, one for mechanical design and one for simulation.

Advanced Modeling focuses on making freeform-type parts using sweeps, lofts, and blends. You'll go beyond the basics and also learn how to use guide curves, curve paths, and even continuity controls to help you create organic-style geometry in your SOLIDWORKS parts. Bridging, local operations, and other multi-body modeling techniques are also covered.

GSC is hands-down the best place to go for your software training. Their staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and hospitable. One of the other students in my training course was a disabled lady, and GSC went above and beyond to accommodate her needs without making her feel less capable than anyone else in the room. The facility itself is very comfortable and has a wonderful aesthetic and is jam-packed with all kinds of fascinating materials, processes, and tools - and their staff would be more than happy to share any of those experiences with you!

I had played around in the software a bit prior to taking the course and encountered several issues. Now that I've taken the course at GSC, I'm much more confident that I'll be able to overcome those issues when I get back to my projects.

One of the best training sessions I have taken in my 32-year career. The instructor showed a complete mastery of the subject, but could still meet students where they were starting from, and lead them to a better understanding of the material.

GSC's online training courses are fundamentally brilliant, with the expertise in instructors and the dense materials that they offer to you. This is my second online class for 3D CAD software and it was definitely worth it!

SOLIDWORKS training courses, which are held at CCSL, are designed to improve your skills and learn new tools for the first time. The courses are process based, emphasising the procedures you should follow to complete a feature. Experienced SOLIDWORKS instructors demonstrate live case studies to ensure you get the most out of your classroom time.

Over 3 days, the Advanced Part Modelling course covers the more advanced shaping capabilities of SOLIDWORKS. This includes tools for modelling complex solids, sweeps and multi-body parts. In this series of blogs, we will cover some of the exercises within the Advanced Part course. Illustrating some of the lesser known capabilities of SOLIDWORKS that allow you to save valuable modelling time.

The TPM Course Indexes showcase the wide array of classroom and online training sessions we have to offer. While our course offerings are extensive, not all courses are regularly scheduled on our events calendar. If you see a course listed in our index that is not currently scheduled on the calendar, please contact us online and let us know that you would like that course offered at your nearest TPM location.
