Get a Solidworks Student Certification or Become a Provider

See the list of currently available SOLIDWORKS Certifications. Contact a Cal Poly SOLIDWORKS CERTIFIED faculty/instructor. Scroll down to see the List of Currently Certified Instructors below. An exam voucher will be created by the certified faculty/instructor and distributed to you on test day. The exam is free of cost and there is no limit on the number of exams a student can take.  Check the SOLIDWORKS Certification testing instructions on the SOLIDWORKS website for the details about taking the test.

Faculty/instructors must submit a free-of-cost SOLIDWORKS Academic Certification Provider application. Once the application is approved, SOLIDWORKS will create a Virtual Tester account for the certified faculty/instructor, based on their email address, and issue a set number of complimentary CSWA exam credits. The certified faculty/instructor has to convert these credits into vouchers and distribute the vouchers to the students on test day. The certified faculty/instructor will receive an email from virtualtester.com with their login credentials for virtualtester.com/solidworks.
