        Want to earn a SOLIDWORKS Certification, but aren’t sure whether you’re ready for the exam?

        Join Certified SOLIDWORKS Expert and SOLIDWORKS Champion Yahya Khedr for a practical workshop on preparing for a SOLIDWORKS Certification exam with greater confidence, speed, and accuracy.

        Using the CSWP exam as an example, Yahya outlines a step-by-step preparation process that can be applied across the SOLIDWORKS Certification program. You’ll learn how to understand what an exam covers, assess your current abilities, identify gaps in your knowledge, practice the skills that need improvement, and reevaluate your progress before exam day.

        You’ll also explore free SOLIDWORKS certification-preparation resources, including sample exams, structured learning paths, and the SOLIDWORKS Certification Practice Problem Database, and see how to use them for focused, purposeful practice.

        Then, Yahya demonstrates practical SOLIDWORKS and test-taking techniques that can help you work more efficiently during an exam, including interface customization, exam-ready templates, keyboard shortcuts, file-management strategies, global variables, and ways to preserve the design intent provided in each question.

        Along the way, you’ll learn:

        • How “knowing SOLIDWORKS” differs from being ready for a certification exam
        • How to identify and address gaps in your skills
        • How to use sample exams and free learning resources effectively
        • How to find targeted exercises in the SOLIDWORKS Practice Problem Database
        • How to improve modeling speed without sacrificing accuracy
        • How to prepare your SOLIDWORKS environment before an exam
        • Practical test-taking advice from experienced SOLIDWORKS Champions
        • How to access the new web-based certification testing experience

        Whether you’re preparing for your first SOLIDWORKS Certification or working toward your next credential, this workshop will give you a more organized path to exam day—and help you build stronger SOLIDWORKS skills along the way.
