New UK Flight Operations Officer / Flight Dispatcher Training Course
I inadvertantly omitted the title 'Flight Dispatcher' in my previous post- should read:
SITA and Bristol Ground School to Offer New Flight Operations Officer/Flight Dispatcher Training Course
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have it on good authority that SITA, in conjunction with Bristol Ground School, will be offering a new flight operations officer/flight dispatcher training course in the new year. I understand this course will be to the ICAO 7192 D3 syllabus.
I have no futher details than the above, but the Bristol GS website gives some indication of the high standards they offer as a JAA ATPL training organisation.

Flight Dispatcher Course
I'll be giving both SITA and Bristol Ground School a buzz on Monday to see if I can get any info from them about this course. I've been looking through their websites and I'm pretty impressed, so if this course DOES materialize, then it can only be a good thing for the industry.......and me too! Fingers crossed !!

My sentiments exactly! I have a bit of inside knowledge about the course through a knowlegable and very expereinced ops/flight dispatch manager who has had an overview of the course materials, he was very impressed. I too have had sight of the draft computer based studies and I think it will be impressive and user friendly. Bristol GS, an ATPL ground school, is preparing the study materials using their aircrew training knowldege and I have no doubt that will be a great advantage.
Further, with SITA's flight operations service department involved, I think we have the making of a course which could become the UK main training provider. A long felt want I have to add.
Keep us posted on what you find out.

The situation is that the course is planned and is being worked on. As soon as it is ready to be launched it will be publicised. This is aimed at being in 2010, but no date yet.

Plans123, I wrote on this thread that this was planned for launch in 2010. As I am involved in the planning I can assure you that this is still the intention. As soon as there is a firm date it will be well publicised and I will also post news here.

Can anyone help me?
At the moment i am currently in construction but slowly beginning to become tired of this career. I have always loved the idea of being an airline dispatcher and im now ready to take steps towards this career choice. I have done some research into the licence that is needed but cannot seem to get a clear answer!
If i was willing to pay for the course/licence can you do this in the UK and if i did this in the uk would it cover me to do the role of a dispatcher in airports around the world.
I have basic school education i.e primary and secondary and various NVQs in construction would i qualify to take the course
Thanks for your help!!!

Nick, in answer to your question. There is nothing to stop anyone who wants to doing any dispatcher course. There is also no guarantee of a job once you have taken a course. In American there is a FAA dispatcher licence but for most of the rest of the world there is no licence, and the course referred to in this thread will not issue a licence because there is none. People can work in airline operations without any formal training or qualification. However if you do not have any background knowledge then a course would be a good way of learning what you need to know.

Well done this sounds like a fantastic course that will be of great benefit to both employers and employees.
Have a look at EU Reg 216/2008 annex iv which became effective 14DEC2009. I look forward to employing the first that qualify at rates commensurate with their professional status.

I was recently made redundant from GSM. A course like this, if the certificate at the end becomes industry / regulator recognised, then I would welcome that, as currently apart from my CV detailing my experience I have no other means of showing a potential employer that I am suitabally quailified for the position.
Hopefully like the rest of the Bristol GS courses, there will be a distance learning option.

Grasscarp, you'll find that many ICAO based countires do indeed require a FOO/Dispatchers license or accreditdation of some sort- although it is also true many do not. However, training to this 7192 standard is required within Europe and has been for some time, just it is paid lip service to by many airlines and the UK CAA.
It is an ICAO Recommendation that member states do issue a license, but it is not a standard- therefore not mandatory. This course is, as I understand it, to ICAO Doc 7192 D3 and may well prove acceptable to other countries as the basis for the issue of a FOO/Dispacthers license. We'll see once it is up and running and what approvals it can gain.

Ec Reg 216/2008
Have a look at annex 4 1a
EU REG 216/2008 as amended DEC2009
Whilst it is not a law that applies to the UK it will be interesting to see what comes out in the Implementation Rule - When they can get their act together!
