Advice
Hi,
I am keen to be a flight dispatcher but do not have any working experience in the aviation industry (currently have 10 years of working experience in the IT field). Tried applying for aviation-related jobs in hope of gaining 1-2 years of experience first but things are not looking good. Right now I am thinking of going the opposite way, that is to attend the 6 weeks dispatcher course on my own in the US (I know it is very tough) to increase my chances of being hired as one, that is if I ever pass the course.
Is it advisable to do so?
