from Air Force to flight dispatcher !

[4OPS]

Good Afternoon,

I have been searching for this inquiry in quite a few areas, but cannot seem to find a decent enough answer in the time that I have left.

I currently serve in the Air force as ATC and I am on the verge of discharging in a few months.my plan is to get a new post at an airline as flight ops or whatever , but I am wondering if i could find it regarding to my previous experience over 8 years , or get out and go to a flight dipsatcher school (non in my country so study abroad so more $).
I really would like a job as a flight dispatcher and I am willing to whatever I can to make me one step closer.

Will my years in the Air force be a help in getting hired or need licence ?

So, I would very much appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. I figured its a perfect time for me to start. Any suggestions?

Thanks for helping!

Your background may well help you to get a job in the airline industry. My advice would be to approach those airlines that you are interested in and find out what vacancies they have with whatever qualifications you already have. Flight Dispatcher work is usually learnt on the job, and although areas of the world do have a specific dispatcher licence which requires taking a course, notably FAA in USA, there are other places where there is no licence. The EUFALDA website will give you information for Europe and IFALDA for the rest of the world.

Please help for any flight ops position (with no licence )

Your location says RAK, are you in Ras Al Khaimah? If you are then it is somewhat difficult to get an ops job in the UAE without a licence and if you want to be a flight dispatcher then you will certainly need the licence.

All the best.
