The Certified Instructor and Certified Trainer are certifications that can only be held by Reseller Employees, and once they leave that job and go to work as a customer, or even a teacher, that certification is no longer valid. Reseller Employees are also the only individuals that we certify as instructors. Once a Reseller employee leaves that job and goes to work as a customer, any Reseller-specific certifications are no longer valid. These exams are only for our resellers, so a normal user would not possess one of these certificates. This will only show up on certificates that employees of our Value-Added Resellers can earn from exams created especially for them. One other possible result that will be very rare to come across will be a result of Expired: If you get a result that says “Certificate Not Found,” then it either does not exist, or the certificate it had once referenced has been revoked by us:

Be sure that the information matches what you are seeing in the published certificate. It will also list the certificate details, such as date, user name, and the subject. If the certificate is valid, it will appear with a green watermark over the top of it stating VALID: Upon clicking the validate button you will get one of a few different responses. You can scan the QR Code with your mobile device, or visit the following link and enter the certificate ID (C-H8NUWFLY67) in the validation box. If you see a certificate posted to someone’s LinkedIn page, or in a SOLIDWORKS-related Facebook Group, for example, you should see the Certificate ID and QR Code (if it has a QR Code) along the bottom of the certificate, normally in the lower left corner as shown below:

Some older certificates will only have a certificate id on it. Along with automated, technology-based checks of exam results, there are a couple of ways for anyone to verify the certification status of someone who is stating they have earned one of our certifications.įirst, EVERY certificate that we issue contains one or two pieces of unique information that can be used to verify the actual status of a certification, a certificate ID and a QR Code that can be scanned. Every SOLIDWORKS Certification we issue contains a few different levels of security in order to ensure that those who earn them will know the value that certification holds that they worked to achieve.
