"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."

T.L., Sheffield Graduate, 12/2/97

"I just finished my shift and wanted to say a final thanks. I had a desk check and my familiarization ride after just 3 weeks as an assistant dispatcher thanks to your school. Thanks again for the confidence to move rapidly in this field. Half of the dispatchers here are Sheffield graduates; it DOES make a difference. I see it every day."
J.B. Sheffield Graduate May 8, 1999

note for all classes
:
We recommend to begin the application/I-20 processing at least 2-4 months prior to the start date of your desired class. This is due to increased security procedures, delayed U.S. Embassy appointments, and M-1 visa issuance delays.

Welcome to Sheffield School's Home Page!

Consistently producing the most qualified Aircraft Dispatchers for Airlines around the World

Established in 1948, Sheffield School of Aeronautics has trained thousands of people from around the world for their FAA Aircraft Dispatcher license.

Training Aviation Professionals* Welcome to the Sheffield School of Aeronautics Home Page. Please explore the site in any order you wish. A menu table appears at the top and side of every page, allowing easy navigation throughout the site. We hope you will BOOKMARK this site and visit often. We will be updating, changing, and improving quite often. Thank you again for stopping by and enjoy the tour!

Due to the quality of our training, we are contacted frequently to be the sole trainer of various airlines. We have provided training for the largest through the smallest of airlines which provides us with a wider variety of experiences than any other school in the world.



Sheffield provides real-world training with real-world tools
. While others claim the same, only Sheffield students have their own work station! No renting of conference rooms here and no crowding around conference tables.

26 more reasons to select Sheffield as your your training provider - NEW, FASTER, LOADED HP microtower computers for your flight planning, weather retrieval, and live traffic monitoring! EACH student in the full-time class uses one of the above!

This includes training for Delta Air Lines (see their Operations Control Center), KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (pictured to the right), South African Airways, Federal Aviation Administration, ICAO, China Southern Airlines (see our slide show!), and numerous Dispatch Control Centers (our customers) on every continent.

Congratulations to our recent KLM class!

We have provided contract on-site training for the United States Air Force.

Our school's owners, president, examiners, and instructors, have accumulated decades of experience in all aspects of aviation. This experience includes: Aircraft dispatching, Airline Initial, Recurrent, and Transition Training, Airline Transport Pilots, Air Traffic Controllers, Aerospace Engineering, Performance Analysis, Meteorologists, etc. We all tap into each other's experiences to produce a massive experience pool in which to help facilitate the learning process.

Sheffield School and its graduates have a deep and profound mutual respect for one another. We not only train our graduates, but actively assist them in their job search. Job search assistance was introduced by Sheffield before most other schools were trying to get FAA approval to operate.

Sheffield Congratulates our recent class!

EACH of our graduates can receive an individual and unique ID and password to enter our employment opportunities section as well as our interactive online recurrent training sections. They can also have their OWN web page to allow hiring managers to view their résumé!

We also initiated the "free refresher training" program for our graduates. We've even provided refresher training to numerous GRADUATES of other schools. We also answer technical questions from our graduates that may arise during a work shift as well as assist airlines in rewriting of dispatch procedures. This total commitment is the reason that we have consistently been in business for 58 years and why we are universally respected in this industry.

We believe in providing quality and service to our students, to assist them in their career endeavors, to push them to a limit they may have never been before, and to provide a confidence level to help them sustain their success within the airline industry. Our testimonial pages are overflowing proof that Sheffield is an absolute authority on Airline Dispatcher training. Whether you are a motivated individual with no prior aviation experience, or an individual with an airline seeking the Aircraft Dispatcher certificate, our objective is to provide you with the educational tools, confidence, and problem-solving skills necessary for Operational Control.
