I attended Sheffield in Apr/May of 2006 and have nothing but positive things to say about my experience there. Excellent place. If you wish, PM me for details.

I also have heard nothing but positives about Sheffield. A number of Delta dispatchers swear by them.

good to hear some positives, I just started a online distant learning course with them, loads of information, they seem real professional and top notch. Anyone currently dispatch or know someone that does?... would love to hear some real world info. about the job etc.

How's the distance learning program working out for you? I'll be starting the same program here in a month or two.

I'm planning for phase 2 in October, but I might make the August phase 2.

I'm in the same boat; full time job, summer, wife to keep happy, etc.

Good luck to you guys at Sheffield. The job markets are really favorable right now for applicants at many places and I believe Sheffield even now has brige agreements with Pinnacle as well.
