Hi folks,
Im an European guy who want to become a qualified flight dispatcher! As you maybe know here in EU we don't have any licence , only some countries has their own national licence , eg Germany! Some others haven't a licence at all , eg UK or France. So I looked around and I found some pretty good school like Sheffield in FL. I have just read the GLEIM's Aviation weather and weather services simplified and I found it very interesting! Now I have already started to read the GLEIM's atp prep test book.
All that I want to ask you are the following questions :
-I need a perfect english to come there? Im doing an intense english course and fortunately I was already at a good level...Its good that I take the TOEFL?(the school said no , but Im thinking for the potential future employment, maybe its good to have a fresh english certificate!)
- How are treated foreign students? Are they helped? Can they get through it?
- I have 0 aviation background , is that true that everyone without aviation experience can afford to attend the course? I have read on the website that is possible, but you know I want to hear more comments and not just some testimonials (which would be even false, how can I know that?!)
-All I have to do know is to memorize the GLEIM's bank questions, but its that enough? I need to study also all the small explanations provided inside or not? Or it is just a joke of memory? Won't we study them anymore?
-Im 21 so I can take the certificate but I'll wait until 23 to receive the FAA's licence. Until that moment , its easy to find a job as an assistant flight dispatcher? Without green card can I find job in US?
-I know that SSoA has a long experience (65 years of teaching), but I want to know: are the istructors efficient, confortable and comprehensible even now?
Thanks in advance to everyone who will help me. I'll appreciate that!
