hi o.c. may i suggest checking out
www.dispatcher.org. this is the website of the airline dispatcher federation. it has numerous helpful links for you including schools offering dispatcher courses as well as a vast array of resources available to dispatchers. it also has links to websites of eufalda and ifalda, which are the european federation of airline dispatchers and international federation. these may also be very helpful for you too in your quest. they may certainly give you a good chance to network and to give you a way to be one-up on other candidates for any positions. good luck.
