Hi, my name is Sharon, 38 years of age. I am also starting this course in october,and yes i am very nervous. It is harder out there to get into Teaching Assistant Roles, as there does appear to be more and more people opting for this line of work, as it fits in with family life. But i do know people who have managed to get into Teaching Assistant Roles, so this course, although quite scary, should be a good qualification to have under our belt.
