Scholarship Description
The Universal Weather and Aviation, Inc. hybrid aircraft dispatcher course is comprised of two elements: a four-month (17 week) self-paced online portion and an 8-day classroom session. This course allows you to complete the majority of the coursework online. Once you complete the online requirements and pass the FAA knowledge test, you will spend 8 days at our training facility in Houston, Texas, to complete the practical portion of your training. Your FAA practical test will be scheduled following the successful completion of the classroom session. Please plan on being in Houston a few extra days to complete the practical test.
