Hello,
I take advantage of this thread to ask a few questions. Is there anybody who can answer that:

I am French . I am currently working in the aviation area . I am interested in getting the FAA Flight Dispatcher Certificate.
Attending a 6 week program in the USA would be quite expensive.

1) Can you take the written and the practical test without attending such a program ; I mean for those with experience .
2) I am the holder of a French Load controller/Flight Dispatcher Certificate. My work experience is:
7 months as a load controller for Paris Airports Group.
7 months as a load controller on an another Airport ( the job also include a bit of operations )
Can a load controller experience be taken into account.

3) Is it possible to take both exams in France ; I mean on a practical and legal standpoint. Could the practical Test take place in a French dispatch center.
Any idea of what it would cost

Thanks a lot for your help

I did send several e-mails to the FAA but na anwer.
I didn't try to camm them but I figure to wouldn't do any good; I will probably spent all day long trying to talk to the right person in the right office...
