There are two internationally recognised qualifications for airline operations officers- the FAA Flight Dispatcher licence and (see IFALDA.org for info) and the ICAO Flight Operations officers licence.
The FAA and many other countries use the former and the CAA and the JAA are moving towards the later. These courses are pitched at the appropriate technical level and really should be industry standard, sadly in the UK they are not yet.
The AVTECH course are, or at least were, reasonably good introductions to airline and airport ops but fell short of the technical content and got out of date, if you have the opportunity then do the FAA or ICAO. Failing that why not do the JAA CPL or ATPL ground course it covers all you'll ever need with respect to the technical training content.
