Certification / Subscription Question...

Hello,

The company I work for uses Solidworks, and while I was browsing the Solidworks website I noticed that I could get certifications by taking the exams.

My question is:

How do I take the exam? Do I personally need to purchase Solidworks in order to take the exams? I do no personally own a license, I only use it at work, but would like to get certified.

I am ready to pay for and take an exam now but am not sure what to do...

I was prompted to get a quote for a subscription service, but I do not think I need that since I only want to take the exams...

Any advice is much appreciated...

Thank You.
