"I want to thank you guys again for giving me the best training available. I feel confident that I could work for any airline in the world - guaranteed."
P.D. Sep-Oct 99 graduate

Delta operations control center

"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."
