Who This Course Is Not For

Dispatcher 101 is a good course for some people and the wrong buy for others. Read this first, so you can decide with clear eyes before you spend anything.

Please skip it if

This Course Is Not for You If

You want a get-rich-quick plan or guaranteed income. No course can promise income, and we don't. The course teaches how the work is done. What happens after that depends on you, your carriers and the market.
You want a guaranteed job. The course is training, not a job offer. Job placement assistance is optional and comes with the Gold plan only. It is help with your search, not a promise of a position.
You don't want to make phone calls or negotiate. Dispatchers spend a lot of time on the phone with brokers and carriers, and negotiating rates is a core part of the job. If calls drain you, this work will too.
You want a government license or an accredited credential. The Certificate of Completion is issued by Dispatcher 101 on the Gold plan. It shows you finished the lessons and the graded quiz. It is not a license, and it is not accredited.
You aren't willing to work through the lessons. The course is self-paced, so nobody sets your schedule. Progress comes from sitting down and doing the lessons.

Good to know: Dispatcher 101 is training only. It is not a job offer, not a government credential and not a promise of income.
