Does anyone know if there are rank restrictions for officers attending Air Assault school?

None at all. A little tougher if you are in the Reserve component, but not impossible. I was in the 80th Division when it was an Institutional Training unit. As an IT unit, it was composed of high speed Drill Sergeant non-coms and mostly company grade officers. When units got stateside training mobilizations for a year or more, a few Soldiers were allowed to attend Hooah schools to earn their jump wings. Outside of one of these opportunities, I would recommend that you stay fit, do your best work as an officer, and let people know that you really want that school. Persistence pays off!

You can look on the ATRRS course catalog and see any age/rank or other restrictions for Army courses, as well as any prerequisites.

No restrictions but you rarely see a SGM/CW4/COL or higher in the course

Your BN/BDE should be able to answer your question since they have visibility of slots. It is not easy as jumping on ATRRS. It is typically held as an incentive for SMs who are top performers or BWC winners. I heard of AGRs getting on as a walk-in while using their leave days since it is hard to get a slow unless you are in a PSYOPS or a similar unit.
