About the Exam

This certification covers advanced mechanical design modeling functionality as well as collaborative and cloud-based data management tools on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform using the 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS role.

Recommended Training Courses:

For the mechanical design modeling part of the exam, free learning can be found at this link. You will need either a SOLIDWORKS ID or 3DEXPERIENCE ID to log in.

For the collaborative and cloud-based data management part of the exam, we suggest completing the learning for 3DSwymer (formally known as Collaborative Business Innovator), and Collaborative Industry Innovator.

We also strongly suggest the following SOLIDWORKS courses offered by your SOLIDWORKS reseller: 

• Access to the 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS role and SOLIDWORKS Connected App
