There is a whole new look to the SolidWorks Certification Center thats available to anyone who takes a SolidWorks Certification exam. You can login to the center at this LINK. Your login is the email address you used when you took your exam. Let's look at some of the highlights.
Once logged in you will see a whole new user interface with tabbed browsing:
The first tab will show any certificates you have achieved. In the case above this user has both the CSWP and the Advanced Surfacing Specialist Certification. It is from this page that you can also view and print a copy of your certificate. A new added feature is the "Publish Certificate" tool that allows you to share your certificates with other via email. You can use this tool to show perspective employers your achievements, or share them with current managers when asking for a raise. Subsequently a manager can compile the certificates of his employees and export the results into an excel file where he can use the data to focus needed training and to see where his team is strong and weak.
On the Exam Results tab a user can see the results of exams he has taken, and can query the results to see how he did on different areas of the exam:
Note that due to database limitations at the time, topic results are only available for exams taken after CSWP R2 (approx July 2008). All future exams will take advantage of this function.
The Credits / Vouchers tab is where a manager can take a block of exam credits and distribute them to his team. By doing this he will also be able to track their individual progress and see the results. It's a way to capture a groups knowledge of SolidWorks and see where they need further training:
Also new to the Certification Center deals with searching for Certified SolidWorks users. The search can be performed at this LINK. The search now combines all CSWP's into one two categories: CSWP & CSWP:
When you search for a CSWP you will now see a list of CSWP's and also see their Advanced Certificate achievements as well:
The SolidWorks Certification Center is made possible through the collaborative efforts of Tangix Design & Development, CadCase Consulting, and the SolidWorks Certification Team.
Just check through the new CSWP directory, I found out that very few people like me , has passed all the CSWP test...Yup!

Hi: Mike:
I tried this link:https://www.virtualtester.com/solidworks/branding/userpages/vt_userparts.html#
The Flash interface looks very cool, but it took more than one minute to be full loaded and show the Flash interface. My internet connection is Cable modem, so I guess it needs some improvement.
BTW, one disadvantage of Flash interface is unable to have the " Remember my password" function.
Regards
