Solid Edge Certification

The Solid Edge Certification is a free intermediate-level, 20-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests Siemens Solid Edge CAD skills — sketching and synchronous versus ordered modelling, part features and sheet metal, assemblies and relationships, and drafting and data management — written to Solid Edge documentation and the Solid Edge Certified Associate and Professional exam topics for 2026. Independent practice; not affiliated with Siemens. Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable Solid Edge Proficiency certificate (SOA-SEX). Every question is based on published standards and research — including Solid Edge product documentation and learning (synchronous technology, sheet metal, assemblies, drafting) (Siemens Digital Industries Software), Solid Edge certification (Associate and Professional) (Siemens Digital Industries Software) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Science of Apps offers a free Solid Edge Certification, updated for 2026 and 2027. It measures sketching and modelling approaches, part features and sheet metal, assemblies and drafting and data management and gives instant results with a shareable certificate.

Read the four skill areas on this page, then take the 20-minute test online — no fee, course or sign-up. You see every answer explained when you finish. Score 70% or more and you get a Solid Edge Proficiency certificate straight away, on screen, as a PDF and by email, with a credential ID anyone can verify.

Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: Solid Edge product documentation and learning (synchronous technology, sheet metal, assemblies, drafting) (Siemens Digital Industries Software); Solid Edge certification (Associate and Professional) (Siemens Digital Industries Software). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Four skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Sketching and Modelling Approaches (Synchronous, Ordered and Sketches); Part Features and Sheet Metal (Features, Sheet metal and Patterns); Assemblies (Relationships, Structure and Analysis); Drafting and Data Management (Drawings, Lists and PDM). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.

Mechanical design engineer, CAD designer or draughtsperson, Product development engineer, Sheet metal designer and Engineering student. It suits anyone who wants a quick, verifiable way to show Solid Edge knowledge in 2026 and 2027, from students and career switchers to experienced professionals.

Solid Edge is Siemens' 3D CAD software for mechanical design. It combines synchronous technology, which lets you edit geometry directly, with ordered history-based modelling, plus sheet metal, assemblies, drafting, simulation and data management tools.

Synchronous technology lets designers edit 3D geometry directly by moving faces with the steering wheel or changing 3D driving dimensions, while live rules keep relationships such as parallel and concentric faces. Ordered modelling instead replays a feature history.

Yes. The test is online, in English and free everywhere — people take it from India, the US, the UK, Europe, Africa, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Your certificate is dated with your own local date and can be verified from anywhere at scienceofapps.com/certification/verify/.

20 questions — 5 from each of 4 skill areas — with a 20-minute limit. You need 70% (14 of 20) to pass and 90% for distinction.

We rate it Intermediate: assumes hands-on experience in the role. It has 20 scenario questions — 5 from each of 4 skill areas — and a 20-minute limit. You need 70% (14 of 20) to pass and 90% for distinction.

Nothing. There is no fee to take a test, to receive the certificate, to have it emailed or to verify it, and no sign-up.

On our server, not in your browser. The answers never reach the page until you submit, so a certificate can only be earned by passing. Each certificate gets a unique credential ID stored by Science of Apps.

You see your score for each area and every question with the correct answer and why, with the published source behind it. You can retake after 30 minutes, and the retake draws questions you haven't seen yet.

No. Every certificate is dated, so it always shows when you passed. Retake a test any time for a newer date or a higher score.

Yes. After you pass, Add to LinkedIn opens the Licenses & certifications form with the certificate name, Science of Apps as the issuer, the issue date, your credential ID and the verification link filled in. You can also download it as a PDF or PNG, and it's emailed to you as a PDF.

Every certificate has a credential ID and a QR code. Scanning it, or entering the ID at scienceofapps.com/certification/verify/, shows the holder's name, the certification, the score and the issue date from our records.

No. They are Science of Apps' own assessments of applied skill. They aren't issued by a university or standards body, and they work best alongside a portfolio that shows the skills in real work.
