No Formal Training Required In Testing Video Games
If you are just dieing to become a paid video games tester and want to quit your normal 9-5 job, then you need to listen up. Video game testing is a JOB, not a hobby! Yes, it's fun, it's entertaining, and it pays well -- but that doesn't mean you can just do what you want when you want. Same with any other kind of employment, you have to do the tasks you are assigned in a timely, professional way.
Repeatedly failing in your tasks will result in a loss of your testing job, as well as any reference you might have gained from that particular game developer. That said, truly put effort into your testing assignment if you want to go far as a video game tester. If you put in half-ass efforts, you'll get half-ass results, period!
How to Become a Tester Without Training...
Believe it or not, video game testers don't require any kind of formal training. Obviously, you'll likely be more successful and climb up the ladder faster if you do indeed have training that'll aid in testing games -- but by no means is it "must have" prerequisite.
To be honest, you only need to have the following to be a paid video game tester...
- Experience playing video games (The more the better)
- A good eye for detail (IMPORTANT!)
- A high end PC and/or a next-gen console (PS3 or XBOX 360) to complete your "assignments" on
- Internet connection and computer so that you can send in testing reports and get updates
- Must Be 18 years Old. A few companies will make exceptions, but not all
If you can meet these requirements, or at least most of them, you "qualify" to be a paid video game tester. Does this mean you'll be able to get a job testing video games immediately? Unfortunately, no -- it just means you're a person game developers will seriously consider hiring for paid video game testing.
