Sidebar CD“Sheffield School of Aeronautics is a highly recognized and respected organization throughout the airline industry. They only produce the highest quality of graduate…” P.W.
Sidebar PW“Their reputation of excellence amongst the industry is second to none. Sheffield School of Aeronautics should be seen as the standard of how it can be done and how it should be done. I was hired at a major airline with no dispatch experience.” A.Z.
Sidebar AZ“This was an amazing class! Always interesting! It was like drinking from a fire hose, but I have never enjoyed a course more than this one. Thank you for a great 5 weeks & EWINS!” R.S.

Sidebar BF“This school came highly recommended by multiple past students and EVEN OTHERS FROM OTHER SCHOOLS. Reputation is fantastic from multiple companies that I have worked for.”
A. – September 2020“Being that half my new hire class dropped out over the course of training, I can confidently say that Sheffield helped to prepare me for the real world.”
GT – abridged testimonial – school selection matters“I wanted to tell you I got the job offer from Expressjet, and start next month! I think a couple others from class were hired as well. It just shows the Sheffield reputation when I see graduates from other schools complaining that they can’t get an interview – I wasn’t even back home to Minneapolis […]
Dan Gustafson“As a graduate of the aircraft dispatcher program at the Sheffield School of Aeronautics…My training was intense and thorough and furnished me with the requisite skills for performing my current job as a Flight Dispatch Supervisor.” N.S.

Sidebar AZ – Student Testimonial“I am a month into my new job at a airline coming out of reorganization, and am helping the training department by referencing the excellent and up to date course book provided to all Sheffield grads.” RW
RW“While touring my company’s dispatch department before I had my license our OCC manager pointed out that 7 of the 10 dispatchers on shift had come from Sheffield. The overall consensus was that Sheffield grads were able to hit the ground running as they were better prepared.” K.O.
Sidebar K.O.“Going to Sheffield prepared me for the real world challenges of Aircraft Dispatching. I certainly believe that the method Sheffield used is one not only for success in a real world career, but also one that prepares students to correctly dispatch aircraft.” T.Z.

Flight Dispatcher Courses from the World’s Oldest & Most Reputable Aircraft Dispatcher School
To all our Sheffield graduates, supporters, and incoming students:
Thank you again for all of your loyalty and support over the years. As you may already know, Sheffield plans to cease our normal FAA certification training by the end of 2025. We may or may not continue on as consultants or pursue direct airline training. I wanted to assure all of our graduates and incoming students that we plan to continue providing support in the form of job notices, free online refresher, technical support, course updates, resume help, etc.. for at least through 2026 and likely thereafter in a limited manner. We shall keep our web site and social media outlets up for a while as well. Eric M. – President
Update: November 28, 2025
Sheffield School of Aeronautics is no longer conducting FAA Aircraft Dispatcher certification training – we have retired from that specific type of training; however, we are currently endorsing Flight Dispatch Network (FDN) as a highly reputable alternative school for training. Please visit https://www.flightdispatchnetwork.com for information.
Established in 1948, our aircraft dispatcher school in Florida has trained thousands of people from around the world on getting their FAA aircraft dispatcher license.
I wanted to thank you all for everything you provided to me and my collegues in the June/July 2009 dispatcher course. I have to say it was the most difficult thing (educationally at least) I have ever done. I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Jordan and Brett are incredibly knowledgeable and you are lucky to have them as part of your team. Apparently the hard work and incredible training you have given me means something. Less than a week out of class and I had already recieved a call from Pinnacle Airlines. I am being flown to Memphis tomorrow for my second interview. I am sure that the knowledge you have given me will prepare me well for whichever company I end up at. Thanks again for everything you have given me, and I’ll be staying in touch.

2-week Course Evaluation 1 – 09/06/17
After applying several places these last few weeks, I’m very pleased to announce that I have accepted an offer at Commutair! who charters flights for United out of North Olmsted, Ohio. I completed a technical interview with them yesterday.
I feel very proud with my choice of Sheffield with the wealth of material I have in my possession and the experience I had. I’ve had almost every airline I’ve applied reach out to me for a quick conversation and I believe part of that has to do with the Sheffield name. Also I gotta thank you for the accommodations, they were very cozy, roomy, and really helped me stay focused. They were above my expectations. I have been working hard on reviewing the material and sounding very CLEAR and solid with my answers …
Kind regards

Got hired & the ‘Sheffield’ name
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the assistance yourself and your staff gave me since I left. I’m happy to say I got hired at Amerijet Inc. just this past week. I felt that I had to at least send you this e-mail showing my gratitude and wish you all well for the holidays. Like so many other graduates before me, I can’t begin to tell you how well the training is paying off. I just started, but feel I already have an advantage.
Thank you!!!
