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 am proud to announce that we have hired another Sheffield graduate from the job posting you placed for us on your website. It is great to know that we can always rely on Sheffield School of Aeronautics in providing us with top quality dispatchers. Thank you very much for your dedication to the “Dispatching World”. Sincerely,

Hello! I just wanted to give you an update on a student of yours…I went back to college and finished my degree. I decided to go to law school instead. I just started my first year at the University of Akron School of Law (on a full scholarship) and I’m hoping to go into aviation law, maybe with an airline, maybe with the FAA, that remains to be seen. My training at Sheffield continues to be a blessing in that somehow or other training with you guys finally taught me how to study. Thank you again for doing such a great job!Sincerely,H.G.

“Have an offer from Compass – 2 more interviews scheduled after the course. Great Job!!”
“I have learnt so much from this course!”
A. – May 2008
I just wanted to drop you a line to say hello. I just had my 24th birthday on Monday and I can’t believe how my life has changed in the past year. I think I must be the most blessed person in the world. When I joined TWA last August I knew that I was very lucky to have the opportunity to be part of a major carrier. I also knew that it would be very challenging. I am pleased to say that after six months of notams work, and over 12 weeks of ground school and desk training, I have been dispatching for TWA for just over two months now. It certainly isn’t like doing a flight plan by hand that is for sure. Soon we will begin our transition to the American way of dispatching and I know it will feel as though I will never be done training, but I can rest easy knowing that my future is very secure and so much of the credit goes to your school. I hope everything is going well with the school and everyone there. Please pass along my thanks and best wishes to everyone.
Best Regards,

Just wanted to let you know that everything was true that I read before attending Sheffield. Applied for a couple dispatcher positions and got calls back right away from two companies (one was within an hour). XxXxx called me within a day and offered to fly me up to St. Louis for an interview. Both representatives told me how much they prefer Sheffield grads. Well I just left the interveiw (3 weeks after graduation) and was offered a job as a dispatcher here. I start training in 2 weeks! Thanks for everything. Will keep you updated!

DD testimonial – The Truth
I am writing you just to say that yesterday I received my Flight Dispatcher licence and I would like to say thank you very much. All those days in your school have been very long hours of study, working under pressure and feeling nervous before the exams but at the end, when you receive the licence at home I feel very proud to be one of your school’s students.
Again, thank you very much. I have learned a lot of interesting stuff about aviation and looking it back, I enjoyed it.
Greetings for all school’s staff.. from a former student.
Best regards,
