The SCWI is an individual who is in a supervisoryattained a higher level of experience than a CWI.The successful applicant also has professionaleducation which has provided the opportunity tosolve problems with a scope and level of difficultybeyond those experienced as a CWI.

Every CWI who has held CWI certification for a minimum of six years and possesses the requisite 15 years of experience, is not necessarily a candidate for the SCWI exam. Ideal candidates for the SCWI exam have sought out opportunities to expand their careers.
