"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,
