G fiend and your opening comment didn't endear me either. If you were a good manager, you'd know exactly where and how to train your staff.
Both my comments were serious by the way.
Anyway, I hope you found what you were looking for.

all,
Had a look at the UKOMA website, more specifically their curriculum during the one-week OPS course.
I'm amazed at the amount of knowledge this training outfit can pump into it's students during the scope of a single week.
I recall my early days in flight operations starting with 6 weeks classroom weight & balance, DCS and some flightplanning, followed by weeks and weeks of on the job training.
Then, a few years later, the company ticket for flight dispatch carrying another 6 weeks of classroom flight planning, meteo, icao, etc., and again the many weeks of otjt.
Training sure has evolved.

The UKOMA course is a practical 'introduction' to airline ops control and is usually for those new to the job. An excellent starter and run by well experienced ops supervisors and managers, but is of course limited by time and the content reflects that.

When I took the UKOMA course, I'd been in OPS for over a year, and had been a Load Controller, prior to that , for 3 years.
I found a lot of the course covered most of what I already knew, but it was still a damned good weeks learning..(and drinking !)
All of our staff who take the course come back suitably informed !
