Master Instructor Training Network
SED Master Instructors provide valuable training free of charge to schools that participate in Child Nutrition Programs. Currently, Master Instructors are available to teach the NYS 10 Hour Sanitation Course (five two-hour modules), Offer Versus Serve, Production Records/Standardized Recipes, Knife Skills and ServSafe. SFAs requesting training must have a minimum of 10 participants able to attend and provide a training location. Please contact Master Instructors at least 3 months in advance to schedule training. Please refer to the chart below for each instructor’s contact information, as well as training topics and counties served. SED does not provide training for Food Service Management Company employees.
