| Certified
SolidWorks Professional (CSWP) Program |
Training
Schedule |
1 Day |
Innova Systems is certified
to conduct the SolidWorks Professional Program exam. In today's dynamic
design market only the most qualified and advanced professionals will
succeed. With the ever-changing and increasingly complex technical environment
it is imperative that there be a standard in place that measures the
competencies of these professionals. Setting and meeting these standards
will ensure that industry professionals are at the forefront of today's
technologies. Without measuring tools in place hiring managers cannot
differentiate between competent users and casual users. To that end,
the CSWP Program will ensure that today's professionals maintain the
highest quality level possible.
