"The Morris Family and Sheffield School have been in Aviation longer than any other school around. My classmates who are now working as dispatchers have told me that they know more and are better trained than other dispatchers from other schools. Sheffield does not in anyway just "crank-out" dispatchers; you will have to work very hard. If you want to be a Dispatcher, go to the best school, SHEFFIELD."
