[senco-forum] TA minimum qualifications

Hello all, wonder if anyone can help?

We are just about to advertise for and hopefully employ two
new teaching assistants.  However, we have had some
'questionable' experiences with teaching assistants (by way
of their academid ability) in the past and were hoping this
time to include some minimum qualifications as a requirement
in the advert.  
Has anyone out there ever done this when advertising a TA
post.  If so, what kind of qualifications did you ask for? 
I have had a look in the archives as I know there has been
much information about employing TAs in the past, but
couldn't find anything about basic qualifications
requirements (but did find loads of ideas for interviews)

Any help would be appreciated.
Emma
