hi look at the below links

The FAA link provides all the info you need on qualifying for the test etc.

AS of Job prospects next to none in the USA unless you have rights to work in the USA.Other Countries...not sure.Dubai is your best best as they take in dispatchers with entry level qualifications.

Good Luck

pratham,

Pprune Pop is right in asking you not to use text speak on the forum. It is hard to read by those who don't use it. It also distracts people from the content of your post, as it did me.

You must be 23 years old to hold an FAA dispatchers license. The FAA Dispacthers license written examination, with a few variations, is the the same as the FAA ATPL. So I am sure if you are doing the US FAA licenses it will help you- but I don't think you can gain any credit for CPL/ATPL writtens off the back of the Dispacthers examination. It will not help you so much if you are doing the ICAO based licenses.

You might consider Saudi as a work prospect after you get your license.

hi no sig

i guess thats a better way to put down why i should not be using text speak ..

neways i am not looking forward for a CPL / ATPL all i was interested to know is wat should i be doing after i make through the course. as i said i am doing it through JEppesen dubai. i wish to start working after that and wish to know where do you see a fresher landing after doing his dispatcher course. i wish to stay in dubai ....
is there any insights you could provide me with ...( sorry to have distracted you with my text speak was nothing intentional)

thanks in advance

Hey P,
I've never been one to correct spelling etc (mine is not perfect) but one of the problems with using a text message format is that spelling, sentance structure etc start to break down. You are into double figures with errors in your last post. It may be that English is not your native language...but if it is this standard will not get you through the application stage.
