thanks for the replies guys!
i have also got a placement on an I.T. course (which includes Web design) which will give me an NVQ level2. i''m then going to go on with the course and try for an NVQ level3.
Do you think all this will help me?
thanks again.

I''ll be honest with you: most game development employers won''t care about your NVQs. Sad but true. Generally, they will look for someone who is either academically successful (degree, often 2:1 or above) and therefore supposedly able to adapt well, or someone with proven skills (industry experience or a very good portfolio).

Maybe you can work on developing the portfolio while obtaining your NVQ. If you''re not going to university, you need to build up a portfolio to show them what you are capable of.
