Actually the answer would be the same for testers and SDET role. There're 4 main routes into profession:
1) University
2) Bootcamp
3) Apprenticeship
4) Self study
But which one would be the right one for you? In this videos I score every route based on the following criteria:
- cost
- time investment
- CV weight
- employability chances
This is the first video in which we will cover uni and apprenticeship

I would say the best option really depends on you. Some strives with no guidelines and only passion (4), other that need real life problems in order to improve (3), and people that need structure and be taken by the hand - not that is bad (1-2).
In terms of recognition, I guess it depends on the country you are in. But I personally believe nothing is better for your CV than:
If you are passionate, skilled and able to show it off in those places, the actual degree you have doesn't really matter.
that is very good perspectice - thank you very much for sharing!
I will touch some of this things in the following posts/videos
