Video Game Tester Requirements

So are you interested in getting paid cash on the side to try one of the game tester jobs that is available? Are you also wondering if you are qualified to perform a job as a game tester? Well you are in luck today because I am going to show you exactly what you need to qualify for one of the game tester jobs that is available below.

One of the first qualifications that you need to meet if you want to land one of the game tester jobs is to meet the age limits. Most gaming companies are looking to hire gamers that are at least 18 years of age and older. But if you happen to be under 18 years old there are opportunities for you as well.

Some companies might actually hire individuals that are under 18 years of age to perform other temporary game testing positions. However I am going to be honest with you because it is usually rare if they do happen to hire someone that is under 18 years of age.

If you happen to be rejected because you are under 18 years of age your best bet is to go ahead and get as most experience as possible so that your resume will look good when you are actually of legal age to get a job as a game tester.

And if you are also wondering whether you need an education to start game testing, the answer is yes. It would be a good idea to have at least a high school education. This should be your goal at the minimum.

If you want to pursue other careers in the gaming industry such as graphics and design, it would be a good idea to get a college degree. This will give you a better chance at landing that game testing job you want.
