Academic Certification Guide for Teachers/Lecturers


This article explains the steps required for teachers to administer the SolidWorks Certification exams, including the CSWA examinations.

You can find detailed information about the different SOLIDWORKS academic certifications available here.
Step 1: Become an Academic Certification Provider
Your school/university first needs to be set up as a Academic Certification Provider.

Don't worry, this just means filling out an online survey. Once done, you will be given access to the 3DEXPERIENCE Certification Center Virtual Tester website.
Notes about the application form:
  • You will need to enter your SolidWorks Education Edition Network licence serial number. This is normally a number beginning with 9710.

  • You are given the option to administer the CSWA and CSWP exams as either: a single exam with a longer exam time; or multiple exams with shorter exam times. Most schools choose the single exam for ease of administration, but the choose is yours.
What Happens Next?
After you complete the form and the form has been accepted (please allow 1-2 working days), you will be sent an email confirmation and log-in information to the 3DEXPERIENCE Certification Center Virtual Tester website.
Step 2: How to Administer the Examination
Please follow the step-by-step instructions at the links below to administer the exam to your students:
