FAA Dispatcher training

Hi,

I was lucky to be put through an FAA Dispatcher course back in 2007 by my then employer in the UK easyjet. They sent us to Sheffield Aeronautics School in Florida. The course was six weeks live-in and the toughest thing I had done in years (I was about 36 at the time and this was my first academic stint since leaving school at 17/18..!) However the course does not just spit out people who passed the tests...as some schools do...it gives you a lot of extra knowledge you need to actually do the job. They had back then just started doing a distance learning course as well and I believe they have since increased the various options available in this regard. Give them a look....they will not be the cheapest but their name alone will be a plus point on your CV as they only pass you if you know your stuff.

Good Luck,

Steve
