HZ123 - We used to have that, the were called 'Redcaps', but alas that role has all but dis-appeared in my experience. İt is an important subject, but as EM has mention its not related to the subject we were talking about here, you can be forgiven for that as there is regular confusion on this forum between the terms Flight Dispatcher and flight (ramp) dispatch.
I really do think the title of this forum needs changed to reflect the wider airport ground handling handling audience that it attracts. Something which differentiates between ramp (dispatch) handling and ops control and flight dispatch.
Something like,
Operational Control/Flight Dispatch, Crewing and Ground Handling
Spitoon,
Just noticed your post, there is indeed a recognised qualification for Ops Officers and that is the internationally recognised ICAO Flight Operations Officer/Flight Dispacther licence to the Doc. 7192 D3 syllabus, although not yet a requirement in the UK, it forms the training syllabus for JAR and will do for EASA last I heard. The course is available from the Glasgow College of Nautical Studies and also used to be available from the Bolton Street College, Dublin.
