Hi LG
While a specific formal education is not essential to become a games tester, and qualifications you do have (or are studying for), especially of related to computer science or math will help.
More important however is an enthisiasm for games, and good communication skills. Your ability to report back clearly to the development team is essential, so put together a good, well written resume (loads of resources online to help you) and demonstrate good communication skills – something like a blog would certainly be a good way to demonstrate your writing skills, and enthusiasm for working in the games industry. If you can demonstrate a good understanding of games, ideally as a part time indie developer (even just writing Flash games in your spare time) that can only help.
Probably more important even then your resume would be contacting the right people in the industry. Getting those “insider contacts” really can make all the difference to getting your foot in the door!
Good luck,
Bill

What would be a good way to convince my mom to let me be an at home video game tester?
I am 14 and already wrote an application, I just need her permission. Any ideas on how to increase the chances of her saying yes?
admin answers:
Maybe 14 is to young to work or you will do this at home?

I like video games and I think I could be a good game tester, as I can think methodically and from other people’s perspectives too.
