Hi,
I am 23 and have no experience of the aviation industry but I am very interested in becoming a flight dispatcher/ops, but am not sure which way to go as the career path seems a bit unclear for someone like me who doesn't want to work in the US primeraly. I want to start off working in the UK if possible but I don't really mind OZ, NZ Canada.
The options seem to be to get a licence from either Sheffield, do the distance learning course from avtech2000 or go to the Emirates college in Dubai.
There seems problems with each though. Sheffield is a FAA licence obviously but the scholls sounds good. The avtech course is not industry recognised from what I have read and is a bit outdated though I don't know if this is still the case?
I read on here that the Emirates licenece although a Dubai one might be more recognised in the UK/EU and OZ and NZ. Is this the case?
What direction should I go bearing in mind that I don't really want to work in the US and I only speak English so Europe is out (at least for the moment)?
Any help really appreciated.

PS - I know this has been discussed at length but I wanted to get an as up to date answer to my question as possible.
