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) and ServSafe. In the future, training in other topics will be available. 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. The county listed below for each instructor represents their location. Instructors may travel to other areas to conduct training.
