There are two ways to get this. One - play the game like you should, fight as many enemies as possible and do as many sidequests as possible. I got my level 20 towards the end of the game.

The other way to do it is to get to Ostagard and start the quest where you get three vials of darkspawn blood. Get those three vials but don't get the treaties. Return to Duncan and tell him you have the vials but not the treaties. You will receive experience. Now keep talking to him stating the same thing, you will continue receiving experience. Grind up to level 20 and enjoy achievement goodness.

If you own the the Golems of Amgarrak or Witch Hunt DLC, there is a very simple way to get this achievement. Simply start a new mage in Origins and save the game. Then, start a Golems of Amgarrak/Witch Hunt save file and import this character. Skip through the cutscenes and dialogue. Since all characters in Golems of Amgarrak/Witch Hunt start at level 20, all you need to do is "level up" and the achievement is yours.

One additional note to Minioger's solution: the achievement only unlocks after you "level up" with the A button from the stats screen. There is a glitch though -- if you don't level up when you're exactly on level 20, the achievement will never pop. I overshot and didn't level up until level 21 and learned this the hard way.

Just a note; this can be obtained in Awakening, on all 3 classes. Just hit 20 in Awakening and level up, few seconds later the cheevo will pop up.
