Thumbs up Dispatcher Course

Since you are in Canada, I recommend highly the Michigan Institute of Aviation and Technology in Canton, Michigan, west of Detroit. They have a 220 hour Aircraft Dispatcher Course (FAA requires 200 hours) and have all the testing available in house (both ATP and Practical) to get your certificate.. I think Canada honors the training, which you would have to confirm. The course lasts about a month and a half and you get into Meteorology, Aerodynamics, Navigation, Aircraft Specifics (performance, weight and balance etc) and FAA regulations. The books and the trusty E6B are supplied with tuition. Its a great course, but not easy...Its where I got my license...

Enjoy
