International students should also note that an FAA licence is not required** overseas unless you are dispatching US 121 operations or through a code share. In this case, an ICAO approved/compliant training course covers the FAA curriculum and more and may save you the expense of travelling to the US. Rogero

The writer above is mostly correct. There are a few States/operators (Saudi Arabia, for one..at least a couple of years ago) that required an FAA Dispatcher license. I recall about 10 years ago, there was a huge controversy because the FAA revoked a number of Aircraft Dispatcher Airman’s Certificates acquired through a major aeronautical college […]

I agree with the message Mr Morris has posted.Not all FAA APPROVED SCHOOLS are created equal.Be careful in choosing which school you want to attend.

Reading all of the above I would like to add a comment. KLM has recently introduced Dispatch according FAR 121. All our Dispatchers have a FAA-certificate (FAR 65) and we had all of our Flightplanners trained at Sheffield to become FAA-Dispatchers. Ruud SikmaChief-Dispatcher KLM

Hi Everyone, …I’ve been recruited by an airline – Air Deccan who commenced operations in 2003 as an Assistant Dispatcher. They fly A320s and ATR 42s and are a budget, no-frills airline and will be expanding this year with flights to neighboring countries. …I’m looking at the experience factor that I’ll get within a span […]

Good morning,I would like to get my dispatching license from your school. A few months ago I was in Atlanta, GA for a retirement ceremony for a Delta Airlines Captain and I had the oppurtunity to sit with a dispatcher for Delta for a few hours to see the basic process and ask questions. I […]
