Becoming an expert in SOLIDWORKS can be overwhelming with the multiple pathways available. There
are two types of expert certifications, CSWE-Simulation and CSWE-Mechanical Design. We have broken
down the three steps you will need to take to become a Certified SOLIDWORKS Expert in each of the
two categories.
