Going into college I had zero SolidWorks experience. I taught myself over one summer (no class, no tutor) and earned both the CSWA and the CSWP.

A part a day
I worked through part modeling, assemblies, and drawings by building practice parts every day, from basic exercises to more complex geometry. By the end of the summer I passed the CSWA, then pushed on to earn the CSWP.
