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, and Knife Skills. SFAs requesting training must have a minimum of 10 participants able to attend and provide a training location. 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.
NYSED is seeking experienced School Food Service Managers/Directors, who meet the minimum qualifications as outlined in the posting, to conduct training on NYSED’s behalf. The posting can be found at: https://www.cn.nysed.gov/sites/cn/files/seekingmasterinstructors.pdf.
