Once users pass the certification test, they are presented with a certificate of accomplishment, signed by UGS PLM Solutions, and the right to use the Solid Edge Certified Professional logo.

A nominal fee for the Solid Edge certification test has been set at $99 in order to provide easy access to individuals or entire departments. It is available entirely on-line, allowing testing at any time 24 hours per day, directly from the user's Internet-accessible Solid Edge workstation. Users may access a sample test in advance to determine a preliminary indication of capability levels needed to pass.
"Passing the test provides users and their employers with publishable, verifiable evidence that they have achieved a level of proficiency with Solid Edge modeling skills and therefore are an accomplished Solid Edge Certified Professional," said Bruce Boes, vice president of marketing and business strategy for Solid Edge.
