"I
have begun working as a Domestic Dispatcher for American Trans
Air for the last year, and just recently began the upgrade training
for International Dispatching. I wanted to tell you how much
help taking the AIFP/ETOPS
classes has been. Instead of having to learn everything
from scratch, I was able to draw on the
knowledge I gained from your classes and bypass much of the
very basic concepts of International Dispatching. This
could effectively cut my training time by as much as a month.
Needless to say, that is a big deal around here where training
time is at a premium. For this reason alone, I
would recommend to all of your students that they enroll in
these courses. Anytime you can be ahead of the
curve in a Dispatch office, especially one as active as ATA's,
it is a good thing. I hope you are all well, and thanks for
all the help you have given me!!!"

"...I am still in the dispatch world working for ---- Airlines
out of ---. It is more challenging than my previous job with
----, as now I dispatch 737s, 757s, and 767s all over the world.
Other new hires have been assigned domestic
flights only, while I have advanced to international flights.
I attribute this to the excellent
training I received at Sheffield..."
Thanks again,

"...we can give them a conditional offer of employment pending completion of your ETOPS and AIFP courses..."
