i know 2 people that did the course at parson cross college full time, and both passed and are now working in local schools close to where they live.

suzan,

how long was the course and what was it. there's so many different courses, im just wanting to do a basic nursery/teaching assistant then build my was up. also does it matter what age as im now 28?

i will contact my mates tonight and ask, i think the course lasted for 2 years, dont take it thats right cos im not sure. i do know they both went from school but i do remember them saying there were all ages there.

thanks suzan that would be fantastic

cheers

Cant help with specifics but do not wory at all about the age thing. Im 27 and have just started training to be a teacher. You will probably find there are more people your own age than there are school leavers. Good Luck.

Hiya Kerry,
Agree dont worry about age thing, I was at Sheffield collage when I was in my late 30's re child care course and got a job working there soon after
Hope this helps
