Hey all,
Hope you all are doing well.

I am from India and looking to do FAA Flight Dispatcher License Course. Could you all suggest the best place to study this course.
Some institutes referred to me where Sheffield School of Aeronautics, IFOD and FlightSafety International.
Kindly do let me know if there are better schools to study this course from that provides great practical training as well.

Also would any of the institutes help international students get placed within United States?
Please do help me choose the best school for my studies.

Thank you for the help

Jeppesen is another good dispatch school option when making your choice. However, no dispatch school will assist international students in getting a position in the US. They all will share job postings (with all of their graduates) but they will not assist you in finding a position that would sponsor you to work in the USA, unless you already have a legal right to work here (citizenship, green card, etc.)
 
Plus, unless things have changed, you will have to come to the US to take the practical. A friend of mine from Kazakhstan did her class in Dubai, then I think she had to come to the US to do the practical.

You will not find placement or sponsorship for a Visa to work at a carrier in the US.
 
Just a quick work of advice. Dispatch School is NOT like graduate school, med school or law school....it really does not matter which school you attend.
They provide almost zero practical training (you will get that at your first poverty wage airline job). So dont worry what "is the best for my studies". Just pray that you can actually get in the country and finish the course. Then pray again that you find a job. Be sure to have fun and good luck.

There is no dispatch school in the entire country that would help you in any way to be placed for employment in the United States and no airline company will be able to sponsor you either. If I were you, I'd do DGCA and probably work for Spice jet or Vistara.

True, however there are airlines in other countries that highly value their dispatchers or equivalent having a 121 cert.

It's not a license, it's a certificate.

A more helpful comment other than the one provided by semantics. Could have been written as :

License | Definition of License by Merriam-Webster (merriam-webster.com)
Definition of license
(Entry 1 of 2)
1a: permission to act
b: freedom of action
2a: a permission granted by competent authority to engage in a business or occupation or in an activity otherwise unlawful a hunting license
b: a document, plate, or tag evidencing a license granted
c: a grant by the holder of a copyright or patent to another of any of the rights embodied in the copyright or patent short of an assignment of all rights
3a: freedom that allows or is used with irresponsibilityFreedom of the press should not be turned into license.
b: disregard for standards of personal conduct : LICENTIOUSNESS
4: deviation from fact, form, or rule by an artist or writer for the sake of the effect gained a poetic license

Certificate | Definition of Certificate by Merriam-Webster (merriam-webster.com)
Definition of certificate
(Entry 1 of 2)
1: a document containing a certified statement especially as to the truth of something specifically: a document certifying that one has fulfilled the requirements of and may practice in a field
2: something serving the same end as a certificate
3: a document evidencing ownership or debt stock certificate


Then you could have possibly taught someone something they may have not known otherwise. I mean I get it but come on man. Legally it's a Certificate that does exactly what a LICENSE does. Thus the common usage (and widely accepted) of License vs Certificate. And unless you are an Aviation Law Attorney or from the FAA (which we can't tell from your vague comment), the semantics of it is just silly.
