Hi Everyone,
I have finally decided to bite the bullet and switch careers at 30 years old. I've been a Spanish interpreter for the past 8 years and I'm burned out. I'm a private pilot and am almost 50% through my IFR rating. I've wanted to get into aviation for work for a while now and I think dispatching will be the perfect thing for me. My question is about what schools offer the self study portion and then you go in for a week or two to tie any loose ends before the test. I have a wife and a good job now as well as bills and it wouldn't be practical to take off 5-6 weeks to go to school. That's why I think I'm stuck with this kind of course. So, what schools offer this? Also, do employers look at an applicant differently if they did a self study course?
Thanks!
