The CSWP exam is divided into three distinct segments, each focusing on specific skills such as part modeling, assembly creation, and modifications. Candidates can take these sections at different times if needed.
The total time allotted for the CSWP exam is approximately 3.5 hours, split across the three segments. Each segment has its own time limit.
The CSWP exam focuses on design-related topics such as modeling, assemblies, and configurations. Programming and scripting are outside its scope and are not assessed.
The CSWP exam requires access to SOLIDWORKS software to complete design tasks and an online proctoring system to monitor the exam environment.
If a candidate fails one segment, they can retake just that specific segment rather than retaking the entire exam. This allows candidates to focus on areas where improvement is needed.
