The Video Game QA Software Tester Course is designed for those looking to get a foot into the games industry.

This course is not just about playing games, students will have to have the desire to go further and be able to analyse issues within games, then deconstruct how issues are being created and make recommendations on how these can be fixed. It is not just limited to code errors and faults but also how to generally improve the game.

The QA Software Tester has a unique position within the game development framework. Whilst an Artist / Animator will be responsible for the look and feel of a game, the Game Programmer the technology and the Game Designer deals with the ideas, a QA Tester is the person whose job it is to ensure that a game goes from start to finish without crashing or producing unexpected results.
