PMP While Working Full-time : A Practical Study
Balance your career and exam prep. Learn how to pass your certification exam using a structured PMP class
Stop being just a 2D draftsman. Get the foundational 3D modeling skills that make you a design engineer and unlock a real engineering career.
You're already using CAD - you just don't have the right tool. You're the one stuck in AutoCAD, cleaning up 2D layouts and making minor drawing revisions. You're still called a "CAD Operator" or "Junior Draftsman." Meanwhile, CSWA-certified Design Engineers are building complex 3D assemblies, running simulations, and commanding salaries 30-50% higher for applying the parametric 3D modeling processes you're not allowed to touch. Your resume gets filtered out by HR bots scanning for "Solidworks," and every mechanical design job in Tinley Park, IL lists "3D modeling" as "required." That stops now. This isn't another course designed to make you memorize the Solidworks help files. Our Solidworks Essentials Training Program is designed by battle-tested mechanical engineers who have designed real, manufacturable parts for Indian automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods industries - environments with impossible tolerances, complex supply chains, and a ruthless focus on Design for Manufacturability (DFM). They've built this program to teach you the Solidworks interface while showing you why you build a model a certain way - how to capture design intent so your model doesn't explode when a dimension changes. Unlike certification mills that teach you only how to pass the exam, we build design engineering capability. You'll learn to build a robust base feature that captures design intent, create parametric parts that can be reused, and build complex assemblies that mate correctly without errors. The CSWA exam is just the proof - the real value is walking into your next interview and confidently building a part from scratch, explaining your design intent, and creating a production-ready 2D drawing from your 3D model in minutes, not hours. We've built this for working professionals, freshers, and students who can't afford to waste time on theory. Weekday evening and weekend batches, fully interactive with live Q&A. Every session recorded. Beyond the training, you get a library of real-world part files, manufacturability checklists, 24/7 expert support, and end-to-end assistance with the CSWA (Certified SOLIDWORKS Associate) exam - where most self-taught candidates fail before they even finish the assembly section.
Learn with confidence knowing your training program aligns with official Solidworks standards and requirements.
Unlock your potential with expert teachers who are Certified Solidworks Professionals (CSWP) & Experts (CSWE) guiding you to success.
Aim for the Solidworks Essentials certification (CSWA) and choose a training schedule that fits your time as we offer weekday-evening, weekend only, or a full 5-day bootcamp.

The Certified SOLIDWORKS Associate (CSWA) certification is globally respected precisely because it is a practical test of your skills, not a multiple-choice memory quiz. Dassault Systemes has established clear benchmarks to ensure every certified professional has a proven foundation in 3D modeling.
No Formal Prerequisites: Unlike PMP, there are no degree or experience-hour gates. You don't need 4,500 hours of experience to prove you're ready.
Mandatory Software Access: You must have access to a Solidworks license (student, commercial, or trial) to take the exam. Our classroom training provides this.
Completion of Essentials Training: While not officially mandated by Dassault Systemes, attempting the CSWA exam without completing a formal Solidworks Essentials course is a recipe for failure. This course is your non-negotiable prerequisite for success.
