Airline Dispatch Training


FlightSafety provides the FAA License Dispatch course to thoroughly prepare students for the Airline career as a Flight Dispatcher. Aircraft dispatchers join flight crews to ensure flight operational safety. FlightSafety’s specialized operational training thoroughly prepares you for that crucial responsibility. We offer both a comprehensive initial dispatch training course that prepares you for the FAA certification exams and recurrent training for licensed dispatchers who want to keep their skills sharp.

The course is 240 hours, with 40 hours of practical training above FAA course requirements.

Courses offered at our LaGuardia Learning Center or onsite by special arrangement, cover all required areas of knowledge.
