[Tetraman]

It's like asking "Will my CPR certificate allow me to practice medicine?"

Is it going to help? Yes, and I mean -the class- is going to help you get the basics down and give you proper understanding of the tools and capabilities of the program. But does that certificate mean you have what it takes to do a job? Not so much. In order to get a job where you'll be using SolidWorks or ProE or ALL of the programs you need to prove mastery and competent use of the program to solve problems.

The certificate might help you in smaller businesses that simply look for something on a resume to easily recognize one person's ability over another... but in the long run you'll be much better off with a portfolio of work that proves your mastery of the program.
