Hi everyone,
I'm planning on enrolling in the 5 week IFOD course in the coming months. I am going to study for the ADX using Sheppard Air and will try to pass it before going to the class.
However, I've been reading online that IFOD spends the first three weeks helping you pass the written ADX via memorization (which is exactly what I plan to do on my own via Sheppard Air). I have heard that the written ADX content is generally useless to real dispatching and that it won't really teach me what I need to know about actual dispatching on the job. Does that mean the first three weeks will be largely useless for someone who has passed the ADX already since the content is largely irrelevant to real dispatch work?
I've heard Sheffield will gloss over ADX and expects you to have this down and that they spend most of their time on actual dispatch studying... Is that true? It's a nightmare trying to pick the right school and I'd love some guidance from someone who has had the experience.
Thank you!
