    Certification test has me stumped

    Yes i do agree with you it is sad. But hey making money with clients is the best way to go and reputation and saving clients money would definately outweigh certification. But i really think who you bump into would surface a different opinion. thank you

    Certification test has me stumped

    Ajacki, I appreciate what you are saying as well as other peoples comments and Yes i understand 4 X R1 but if R1 isn't known then that could throw off a mass question and waste my valuable time trying to pass the test. Certification would be a value to me in terms of clients. Do you agree with...

    Certification test has me stumped

I designed the rather simple bracket but when i cut the notch out it is not the same as the exam... wonder what i am missing. The pic shows the horizontal lenght of the bracket = 30mm. I thought The vertical side shows...

    Has any one taken the solidworks certification test.

    Thank you Eltron . I do know now that it may take several hundred dollars to pass this test. But i know the money will be well spent. Wouldnt it be great for some free exams. Also I have tried the sample exam and have failed to answer any properly. I also think i found a mistake on one of them.I...

    Has any one taken the solidworks certification test.

    i am not very fast because i dont want to make mistakes so I guess that will be a problem. Also if what a person is used to design versus a new design that could be a problem. How many times can a person take the test if he doesnt pass it. And i assume a different test will be given next time...

    thinking of starrting a mechanical design business

    i just want to thank you all for your valuable comments. i do need to pound the pavement and make connections. And some how worm (what a great term huh) my way into the business. But i must admit that with all the stress in my current situations, frankly i dont know if i could handle all of...

    thinking of starrting a mechanical design business

    ajack1 i do have the money for updates and other costs. But my dad always taught me to keep costs low. maybe software wise its not a good idea. let me share a success story with you. My father used to work as a reaserch chemist for sherwin williams. He also invented ideas that became patents...

    thinking of starrting a mechanical design business

    maybe you are correct in your statements but at least i can try. Isnt that what forums are about is to get ideas even though some people consider them ridiculous. yes i am thinking of this ridicoulous or not. I love creativity amd using my imagination. Also lets see in a recession companies need...

    thinking of starrting a mechanical design business

    Your assumption is correct. However upgrade in SW is 1500 per year which to me is rather expensive at this point. and sometimes i wonder do i always need to be current? what was intesting you mentioned that there would be less pay for out of date Solid Works. Customers would pay more for up to...

    thinking of starrting a mechanical design business

    i am thinking of starting a business using Solidworks 2007. Most of my experience has been assigning part numbers and documentation. I do have a BSME and have received my 3D certificate while being out of work. So the only designing i have done is thru school and playing around doing tutorials...
