Great course! Your reputation is well deserved, it is a very challenging course requiring lots of study and self-discipline. "Real-life" examples from Brett and Eric helped clarify a lot of concepts. You guys kept it challenging, but made it fun, too!

Sheffield School of Aeronautics has been one of the most efficient schools I have attended. It was demanding and very rewarding. Thanks for the dedication!!

The course was well worth the investment.

This class was much more than I expected. I feel this class definitely prepares me for the flight dispatcher occupation.
C.Richardson

I was extremely impressed with your dispatcher course. It exceeded my expectations. The material covered was challenging and has given me a superb foundation to build upon in my upcoming years as a dispatcher. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in this field.

What can be said about Sheffield that has not been already said in 51 years? I came here anticipating good solid training and you delivered. I came in hopes of eventually landing a position dispatching and am leaving with a job already secured in my home town. Bravo, Bravo, Bravo

Not to overstate, but Sheffield has changed the course of my life. I will without a doubt highly recommend it to anyone seeking a career in dispatch.

Thank you so much.

Brett is a great instructor. He has a very thorough knowledge of the aircraft dispatcher position/industry and communicates everything in a way that makes it easy to understand and also relevant to what we will be doing.

Great school! I got a lot more than I expected. Thanks.

I've taken many difficult courses- both professional and college level- and this was by far one of the most challenging. Brett is a great teacher-one of the best ones I've had so far. Thanks for giving me the tools I need to succeed in this profession!

This course was much more than I expected-which is exactly what I needed. I suppose that the learning process as a dispatcher never ends, but what a great start your school has given to me. Thanks!

This course has helped me a lot! Not only do I stand a chance of being a good dispatcher, but also a great pilot! Now I have a lot to look forward to in the well-oiled machinery of commercial aviation.

Although it was an intense six weeks of studying, I enjoyed it very much because of wonderful people (staff, classmates, roommate). Thank you very much.
