“now that I’ve been in an indoctrination class with students from other schools, I know I made the right choice with Sheffield.” Kindest regards, A.R.
All schools are created equal?! yeah…sure ;)“Your school has offered me an incredible advantage in the Dispatcher job market.” D.K.
D. Kircher“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“My experience at Sheffield and my exposure to other aircraft dispatchers that did not go to Sheffield has resulted in an awareness of the superior depth and quality of the training provided by the Sheffield instructors.” CD
Sidebar CD“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.
Sidebar TZ“After receiving my certificate, I joined a class of 4 experienced dispatchers for Part 121 initial training. Without experience, my preparation at Sheffield enabled me to become active at the same time after the initial training.” PR
PR“These men represented the highest caliber of professionalism and integrity. The education I received from these gentleman has afforded me to be gainfully employed while having the opportunity to use the education received, all over this country, and more than a few others.” WG
sidebar wg“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 NS“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.
R.S. Testimonial – 5-weeks & EWINS“I am so glad they are like this because it made me a better dispatcher and I really appreciate their high standards. I would highly recommend Sheffield to anyone who is willing to study hard and is serious about obtaining a Dispatcher Certificate.” MC
MC“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.“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“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 have received 4 (job) offers…many of the interviews I have gotten have been because of my “pedigree”…going to Sheffield. I am amazed at the respect your school has….I am honored to be a graduate. Thank you for all the work you ..!”

Hello from Iceland!
Just a few words and warmest greetings from an old Sheffield graduate!
I spend a couple of months in Miami almost 40 years ago and graduated along with some good people in early 1966. Some of them I have heard from now and then, like Suzuki in Tokyo and Ali in Iran!!. The world has changed in 40 years!!
I achieved the Aircraft Dispatcher Certificate from the FAA after having been well prepared by the Sheffield School of Aeronautics staff. Good old Wilbur and Virginia Sheffield were still in a fine shape running the school and their old students will never forget them. Wilbur urged me to take all possible FAA exams, in order to get some credit for the school and I went several times to the FAA office at Opa-Locka in order to take the written tests. The Dispatchers of course, also the PPL, CPL, IFR the Ground Instructor Basic and the Advanced Certificate.
I remember when I was sent to Opa-Locka to take the Dispatcher´s test. I had been prepared to all the possible tests the FAA had in the Field-Office. But, I got number 42! – this test was not supposed to be in this office and I remember the debriefing at the old School at the 36th street when I came back. The test had some questions I had not been asked by the school tests!! and Wilbur did not like that – but I came out with flying colors 98% and the good old school got some credit.
I spent my 45 years career with the Icelandic CAA and the independent AAIB (similar to the NTSB) and I retired in 2002. My thoughts are often with the nice people I met down there and the nice people I stayed with at 401 Palmetto Drive, Miami Springs.
I wish you all the best and may the Sheffield School of Aeronautics prosper and be respected by the aviation industry!
