Airline Ground School run a correspondence course with a week in house training if you already have an aviation background.
Otherwise 6 weeks training is required.
I got my ticket last year from these guys in Long Beach California on the accelerated course.
My advice would be this course would only be suitable for those with a solid aviation background as the in house training is very rushed and several students were left behind in the dark.
I know of good reports about sheffield dispatch school maybe someone can add to this.

AGS website is www.agschools.com

Good luck.

From previous post it appears that you are a young person. To take the FAA course you have to be at least 21 years of age. You cannot obtain a certificate until you reach your 23rd birthday.

Another school located in Tucson Arizona offers the program. I graduated from the school in 1999 and have been working as a dispatcher since graduation at Mesa Airlines in Phoenix Arizona.

Their website address is: www.flightcontrolacademy.com

Good Luck

We hire most of our dispatchers directly out Sheffield in Florida. However I rec'd my license from the Career Academy in Anchorage, AK.
