I am currently at OAA and I am significantly over 30, in fact I am terrifyingly close to 40. I endorse what has been said previously. If you have the right attitude within the classroom there really is no problem Sometimes it is hard I confess, the other guys seem to absorb so much so quickly. I did anticipate this and promised myself that rather than be intimidated by my class mates (who are a great bunch) I would not be afraid to stick up my hand and ask questions about anything that I don't understand. It is pleasantly surprising how often other people tell me that they are glad that I asked what I thought was a daft question. The instructors are fine.
In short, I have not found my age to be a problem, I averaged mid 90's in the first set of exams and overall I am happy with the course. It might not suit everyone but I am pleased with my choice.
Got to go, I have two hours of Air Law ahead...
If you need more info, just ask.
