How to pass CSWA exam

This is 2in1 Solidworks course with 50 exercises:

1. For absolute beginners. No needed experience. We are going from scratch and we are covering all MUST KNOW tools in sketching, part modeling, assembly and drawings

2. CSWA preparation – for beginner or intermediate users who wants to take CSWA exam

Solidworks is the most popular design tool for creating 3D products and technical drawings. This course will provide you with all skills necessary to become confident Solidworks user.

The CSWA certification indicates a foundation in and apprentice knowledge of a 3D CAD design and engineering practices and principles.

What makes this course different?

1. 50 exercises . In Solidworks is all about practicing . Your skills will be sharpen if you dive in directly by yourself. That's why this course is providing bunch of exercises that you have to solve individually. But everything you need to know will be shown in lectures.

2. CSWA preparation. All examples are similar to ones you will find on CSWA exam. Which means if you successfully finish this course you are ready for CSWA exam.

3. No experience. This course will teach you from zero. You don't need to have experience at all.

I'm Mechanical Engineer and Solidworks Professional with experience in creating 3D models and technical drawings of welding spot machines, standard configurations and special purpose configurations. After graduating with Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering I started my professional crreer as a online programmer of industrial welding robots. Including defining MIG/MAG welding technology, installation, calibration and service of welding robot units. Partially I started with 3D modeling and later fully transit to designing which is now my full time job. For few years I've been tutoring high school and college students as well elders in Math, Strength of Material, Mechanics, Physics and Solidworks.
