SNA's Certificate Program
Earning your SNA Certificate in School Nutrition shows your commitment to your profession and helps you stay current on the job. The SNA Certificate Program is a continuing education plan to improve the professional competency of those engaged in School Food Service and to give recognition to individuals who participate.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Continuing education hours are earned by attending chapter meetings, workshops, the SNAPa Annual Conference, and work study institutes. The meeting chair must apply for prior approval (minimum of two weeks prior to event) of continuing education credits. Upon approval of the program, continuing education credits will be assigned. SNA certification participants must sign the SNAPa Continuing Education Attendance Roster at all approved activities to receive credited hours.
