Does any other school teach an international flight planning course with a separate ETOPs course?
To the best of our knowledge, no. There are those who claim to “teach” the same course “for free” in a half day. They’ve titled the course: “ETOPs”, then “International”, then “ETOPs/International planning”, then simply abandoned the course, etc..They will list subjects that Sheffield covers during the regular 5-week course. We also have a separate ETOPs course due to the volume of material covered. You can sample a morsel, or purchase the 5-course meal. I know one course operator who will tell the students what the letters E-T-O-P-S stands for….and that’s about it..
