IW“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 […]

PTGood afternoon Eric, I wanted to reach out to let you know that training at (airline) is in full swing and I couldn’t be happier that I chose Sheffield.

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 tell you how happy I am because I found a job for EAT-DHL as flight analyst. I want to thank you for the excelllent training I received. I enjoyed my stay very much and I will certainly recommend your school for others.

The ‘Sheffield family’ connection
Hello Mr. Morris,
My name is xxxxxx xxxxxx. I am a current employee of American Airlines. I got my dispatch certification from a dispatch school in Dallas (xxxx). Upon completing this course I feel that they have left me ill-prepared to do the job effectively, they lacked real world training and they taught flight planning on icao charts and not xxxxxxxxx charts. I am coming to you for guidance and direction I spoke with a graduate of Sheffield and they spoke highly of the program that your school runs, and I wanted to know what you thought and what would be the best course of action, I know that because I didn’t attend Sheffield that u don’t offer recurrent training for me but I am willing to take your recommendation going forward to help further my career.
Thank you for your time!
Sincerely xxxxxx xxxxxx

I just wanted to inform you about how the interview at Continental Airlines went. If you want specifics let me know, (very easy interview), but I was offered the job! Although I had to turn it down… I wanted to thank you very much for your help*. They have given me an open door, anytime a position is there and I want it, it’s mine.
Thanks for everything and if you ever want to come here and the operations, please let me know! Hopefully hear from you soon!

I’ve been so busy with the move from Italy that I forgot to write to let you know I accepted a router position with xxxxxxx. Hopefully this is a stepping stone to the dispatch position in a year or so. I will…start the new job on the 4th of September. I feel that the education I received at Sheffield helped me land this job. I look forward to returning next year to attend a few workshops.
Thanks,
S.W.
