The Glasgow College of Nautical Studies, Aviation Studies Department has confirmed that they will be offering the
ICAO Flight Operations Officer/Aircraft Dispatcher's licence course from September of this year. This distance learning course will be based on three modules covering all the subjects required in the ICAO Doc 7192 D3. The College will be working with a number of major UK airlines to ensure the subject matter meets the ICAO requirements and covers current European airline needs, e.g Eurocontrol ATFM etc.
This course should meet the requirements that the CAA have proposed for flight operations officer training in the future.
My hope is that the ICAO FOO licence course will become the industry training standard in the UK.
