Is this a profession that I can advance in?

Yes. Whether moving into more international operational control, chief dispatcher position, supervisor, training, or upper operational control center management/planning/logistics, etc..there are a variety of ways to move up. Most tend to be satisfied with gaining experience and therefore, salary, but there are always other options. Some move into other aviation positions such as the FAA (inspectors) or NTSB.

We have many graduates who followed every position listed and more. Some become pilots or return to flying part-time as well as dispatch..both! The testimonial below is wonderful example of WHY you should seek out only the absolute TOP training in the field – education & job stability!!

“Wanted to give you guys an update. I’ve been dispatching for just over four months now with xxx and things are going great. When I came out to interview my boss only asked me a few dispatching questions and referenced the fact that I went to Sheffield as to why the questions were so limited. He said that he respects the school and knows the caliber of student that graduates. As an interesting side note the fellow I was in ground school with here at xxx went to a dispatch school which will remain nameless but is located in Denver, CO. He struggled to make it through ground school specifically referencing the fact that they never even taught him simple things like xxx & xxxx. When I was first looking for a dispatch school I couldn’t find much in the way of feedback about schools besides what I found on your website, and it being your website I was suspect as to it’s validity. After graduating and now dispatching for a while I have come to realize that all the testimonials on your site have to be absolutely true and accurate.”

P.S. I am slated to become a chief dispatcher sometime early next year.

Sincerely,

F.N. – Graduate Dispatch class June ’08
