To earn the Aircraft Dispatcher Certificate an applicant must:

• Pass (70%) the FAA Aircraft Dispatcher (ADX) Knowledge Test • Pass (~70%) an FAA-approved course with instructor signoff or meet equivalent experience requirements • Pass both phases of the FAA Practical Exam: (I) Flight Plan examination & (II) oral examination The FAA Aircraft Dispatcher Knowledge (ADX) Test is normally administered during the first 3 weeks of the 5-week course; however, we highly recommend that students pass this test as soon as possible during the course, or even before they begin the course if they have some experience and can master the questions on their own (95% of students take the test during the course). We recommend self-studying and practicing our online tests as soon as you enroll. We will conduct only 1-2 ADX workshops during the first week that will address flight logs. Most ADX workshops are now accessed online with detailed step-by-step instructions – you should access these online lessons once you enroll and before you attend our class. Visit http://www.sheffield.com/adx-test, once you have applied and received a password. Sheffield School is an authorized CATS computer-testing center, so you will receive your FAA test results immediately upon completing the exam. Most students take the ADX knowledge exam while they are attending our school, but studying anything earlier can save you time later. To successfully pass our FAA-approved course, the student must attain a cumulative course score of approximately 70% or more upon completion of the Sheffield final examination, receive the instructor signoff, and pass the FAA ADX Knowledge exam. Our students are issued at least 6-8 Sheffield exams during the 5-week period. This is really what helps to separate us from other schools; we are able to instruct, review, practice, and test our students until we are satisfied that they will be the most successful, confident, and safest dispatchers in the industry. Our success rate is very high and our reputation for producing truly qualified graduates, who remain in the industry, is unparalleled. Our objective is to get every student through our comprehensive course, but it is only accomplished through determination, motivation, self-confidence, and many hours of studying. Free tutoring is always available following class. Airlines tell us directly how much they respect our techniques; they prefer hiring our qualified graduates over those who have been handed a ticket without earning the license. The FAA Practical Exam is administered following successful completion of the course. Note: The FAA Practical exams begin as soon as classes end. Be sure to plan on an additional 3-5 days (dependent on class size) in Ft. Lauderdale after the posted class ending date when making travel plans. Incidentally, if you will be at least age 21 years of age before the course, you are eligible to enroll. Following graduation, and before age 23, you will be issued a Letter of Aeronautical Competency by the FAA, indicating that you have completed all of the requirements for the certificate. Then, upon reaching age 23, the FAA Aircraft Dispatcher certificate will be issued. During that time you may work as an assistant dispatcher or flight follower under the supervision of a certified dispatcher.

In addition to our school-produced manuals, we utilize U.S. Government Publications, as well as industry-used Charts and Approach Plates, and other educational media in the course, including video supplements to classroom lectures. Sheffield School was established nearly 70 years ago. We conduct, or have conducted, training for such airlines around the world as U.S. Air Force, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, China Southern, China Eastern/Shanghai Airlines, Virgin Australia, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, TWA, Viasa, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Cayman Airways, Comair, Aero Lloyd, Hapag-Lloyd, Crossair, Spirit Airlines, and many others. We have also provided training to major U.S. corporations, such as Federal Express, UPS, Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Mobil Oil, Aramco, United Technologies, etc. We also conduct training for the Federal Aviation Administration, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Transport Canada, and other governments. The course is approved for veterans training (U.S. students). Although we cannot make promises relative to job placement, our placement record is unsurpassed due to our 70-year reputation for producing the most highly qualified aircraft dispatcher graduates in the airline industry. Housing: Our school offers housing options within walking distance from the school. The rental fees for the duration of the course ranges from $1,650 to $1,800, depending on the choice of housing and single or double occupancy. The housing is completely furnished and is shared with other students, and is helpful for group study. For more detailed information please call or visit our web site:
