Differences training on glass (G1000)
 
What training (if any) would an instructor need to undertake to be able to sign someone off as having had differences training on glass cockpits?

(assume the glass fitted aircraft is a non complex single and the instructor is qualified to fly glass aircraft/trained to use the G1000)

As with all differences training you would merely need the differences training yourself.

Thanks for that, for once something seems straight forward :-)

Does Jet EFIS time count as glass for light aircraft?

No; they are not in the same Class or Type.

If you are going to earn your salary as a flight instructor then I would suggest that you actually learn how to fully operate the G1000 suit before presuming to teach someone. The G1000 is a very capable system but it has some gotcha's and requires a very disciplined set of SOP's consistently applied to avoid getting lost in the sub menu's, but above all it needs an instructor with real practical line operating experience.

The EFIS endorsement is not a G1000 course.
It must teach you to fly on a glass cockpit where the airspeed/alt/turn'n'bank etc. are quite different to read compared to steam gauges.
In other words, the endorsement should enable you to fly any glass cockpit (G1000/Avidyne/Aspen etc). If you want to know all the workings of the G1000, then do a G1000 course after you get the endorsement.
