Viking9, yes I am looking at both options!

Would like to do a Dispatchers course, so that when I am retired FA, I can fall back on this work!

So do you know of any?

I heard that the FAA course in Miami should be very good! Former LX (Crossair) used to send all the dispatchers there.
Another guy told me Dallas is better.
If you want a european "licence" try Maastricht/NL
Depense what you want I guess. Moneywise they are all the same.Just have a close look in the internet and request info.
Good luck.!

I would highly recommend, if heading to the States, Sheffield School of Aeronautics in Fort Lauderdale, Florida(just north of Miami). Very good school - http://www.sheffield.com . Any questions feel free to fire away!

I attended the course offered by Flight Control Academy in Tucson, Arizona.

Small School, Knowledgeable Instruction, Enjoyable Location.
They are approved for Foreign Students.

Good Luck in whatever you decide.
