SPDP Courses are offered each year at the S&D Conference, on topics
ranging from international scheduling to weather and aircraft
performance. NBAA and its Schedulers & Dispatchers Committee have
offered SPDP Courses since 2001, and more than 500 courses have been
completed to date.
As an offshoot of NBAA's main Professional Development Program (PDP),
the Schedulers Professional Development Program was created to help
advance the training and careers of business aviation professionals.
While not a prerequisite, SPDP Courses are an excellent way to prepare
for the NBAA Certified Aviation Manager (CAM) Program application
process. Additionally, SPDP can help individuals follow the career-path
checklist outlined by NBAA's Standards of Excellence in Business
Aviation (SEBA) Program.
