Classroom

A Comfortable Learning Environment

aviation classroomSheffield’s primary classroom, nearly 1,000 square feet, is equipped with modern teaching aids, offering students a comfortable environment in which to learn. Each student’s desk is wide and deep enough to comfortably spread out large charts and related flight plan forms. Workstations are spread out enough to provide a comfortable buffer between your classmates. (Be careful, we’ve noticed some schools lease small classroom space, then cram students into tiny desks without depth, rendering a very uncomfortable and inefficient learning experience.)

Five weeks (or less) of intense, comprehensive training at Sheffield School will prepare these students for one of the most challenging, rewarding, and high paying careers in the airline industry – The Aircraft Dispatcher.
