Advanced skills and topics.
Our bootcamps are designed in close collaboration with employers to identify the most highly rated skills and knowledge that you'll need to succeed.
Quality games need quality testing. Testers can often be the biggest department in any studio. But too often, testers lack the rigorous training, and the right tools or skills to do their job. This bootcamp is out to change that.
We're on a mission to develop the world's best games testing talent, through an intensive bootcamp that will take your skills and knowledge much, much further than the usual course - so when the time comes to look for a job, you're the most in-demand candidate out there.

Our bootcamps are designed in close collaboration with employers to identify the most highly rated skills and knowledge that you'll need to succeed.
There is no shortage of QA jobs - but no shortage of candidates either. This Skills Bootcamp has been designed to make you an outstanding candidate, for both hard technical skills and soft career skills.
The goal of most schools is to get you to complete a course. The goal of this bootcamp is to teach, mentor, and coach you until you get an interview. We will help you identify the roles, industries and companies right for you and personalise your curriculum to your career.
Our pathways are designed after a rigorous analysis of the jobs market and in partnership with employers. You will be set work that helps you learn and hone the necessary skills required for your dream job.
The role of a games tester is hugely rewarding, and offers the potential for a long career in quality assurance, with clear progress into senior or lead roles, as well as more specialist areas, like QA Analyst or QA Engineer, or even as a QA in other industries.
Our idea is more than just to help you find that first job. We will help you find the right job for you - where you can grow and excel at what you love to do the most.

The Skills Bootcamp is designed to mirror the real workplace. First, you will build the foundational technical skills to become a games tester. Then, our team will support you in building your confidence, researching and applying to the right roles, and being at your side whilst you interview and negotiate your future dream job.
You’ll be connected to an industry expert who will assess your skills, identify your gaps, and work with you over the weeks to help you get up to speed. You will be set work that helps you learn and hone the necessary skills. If you get stuck, the technical support channel is always manned to get you unstuck.
Week by week, you will cover key aspects of game testing. You'll have materials to work through at your pace, and regular meetings with your mentor to review your progress and get feedback.
You will only move onto the next level when you have demonstrated your competencies. We move at your pace, not our schedule.
There will be workshops and tasks to help you identify the roles, industries and companies that you are most suited for and give you the direction and focus you need, as well as projects that mirror the kind of work you’ll be doing in industry.
Through sessions with peers, a private Slack group with technical support, and your own Success Manager, we will surround you with a community to learn with.
You will get a chance to meet working QA professionals and understand more about the day-to-day of the job.
Find your first job with support to write your CV and LinkedIn, prepare your portfolio, get ready for interview, and a push to get the very best job not just the first job that is offered to you.
As part of bootcamps, we organise an interview for you with one of our partners. You’ll take everything you’ve learnt and present your best self to a potential employer.
Get ready for your new future in games.
This QA tester bootcamp has been designed specifically to ensure you leave ready for the real world of work. Everything is aligned around the real jobs that the industry needs filling.
You will have 1-to-1 and group video calls, live online classes, personal feedback, technical help and emotional support from a team of people invested in your success.
I’ll assess your skill level, understand your career goals, then build a pathway for you to get you job-ready from a technical perspective. I’ll set you tasks to build your skills, give you feedback on how well you’ve executed the task and support you to build a project for your portfolio.
We're proud of all the creative professionals, from every walk of life, who have been through one of our career accelerators since 2015. With our new games testing bootcamp, we want to continue this commitment to finding diverse voices and original talent who've been shut out for too long. You don't need a degree or previous work experience. Outsiders, misfits and changemakers need apply.
We are sorry we do not have any more places available for this Skills Bootcamp and are not accepting any more applications.
