I am about 85% throught the AvTech200 Airline Ops and Dispatch course. Ive found it very informative and well constructed. As its distance learning you can do it in your own time, but based on 4 hours/week it should take 9-12 months. I've had considerably more time than that and have completed about 85% in 2 months. I found it very similar to an FAA Dispatchers course but more European based (i.e. RVR in M not ft!, etc...) Also it includes a section on Ramp Handling, which is good from a practical point of view. The only downside I would say is this: If you are studying and need a question answering or something clarifying, you will have to email them. Due to their workload you are unlikely to get a response for 3-5 days. I would imagine this to be similar in most distance learning environments, buy if you have planned a full day of studying and you're waiting for a response it can be very frustrating. But I would recommend the course. If I was given the option to complete the course full-time for 4-5 weeks, face to face in a classroom I would have definately taken that option.
