Airline Flight Dispatcher Training Centre
The school established in 1991, base in Hurst (20 minutes from Dallas). Living cost in hurst is reasonably low with an easy access to Dallas. Although is not a popular tourist area as such but you may found it hard to find spare time during the course.
In general if you can spare 6 weeks to study the course in US, is a much better idea you will find it a lot easier. For distance learning course you may heard about the FAA licence training, there are a few questions which is unclear, who can verified the training time you receive in each subject and whether it is approved by the FAA or not.
Out of all the dispatch schools, the first few would be AFDTC and Sheffield purely conducting dispatcher training. Remember one thing, doesn't matter which school you go to, once you got your ticket it won't make any difference hence you are certified by the FAA and all school require to have the same standard set by the FAA.
One serious matter is the money, 6 weeks without work and your living expenses. Look around and may be a good idea to speak to some of the school you will find out more about them and what they do. It is not easy, but with a bit of determination you will find it rewarding.
Good luck with your search.
How about the C & G Courses?
AVTECH runs a few distance learning C & G programs, which is good for Flight Ops, Despatch and Airfield Ops etc...
It reconised by most company.
