To do full disclosure, I have helped over 1000 people become game testers. I run a professional game testing company, I wrote the original Microsoft Windows Gaming Logo and I have been a Video Game tester for the last 12 years and I run a company called http://www.powerupgames.com and it has a training course for people who want to become video game testers.

With that said…You don’t need to be scammed and pay for a game testing job or a job list or the promise to stay at home and play games all day eating pizza, drinking pop and making a ton of money. Read the following article.

You don’t need a game designer degree to become a game tester. Here is an online college

They offer a game testing course.

The reason people get more education is that it is becoming competitive to get a game testing position. The better your resume and cover letter and references and portfolio…. The better your chances.

It is good to have good communication skills, good team skills, to know about technology and how games are put together. Foreign language, etc are all good education to have on your resume and you could use in a game testing position.

To enhance your chances of landing a permanent game testing position…
Familiarize yourself with game testing, terminology,language etc and create a good cover letter and resume, reference your projects,

do some real or nearly real game testing experience and be able to chat about how you did what you did with the knowledge and terminology you have learned about Game Testing.

Know the basics of game testing so after you start a position, you keep it.

There will be a couple hundred portfolios applying to a game testing position and you have to get your resume to the top for a phone interview and past the face to face interview so you can get the position and show that you know what game testing is and that you know what you need to do to be a Game tester.

Have someone in the Game Industry review your resume and cover letter. Get someone who was a game tester or even better, someone who has hired game testers.
