Section 644A.315 - Validity of certificate of registration; validity of authorization to supervise; failure to complete required hours of training; application for new certificate of registration

1. A certificate of registration as a cosmetologist's apprentice, hair designer's apprentice, esthetician's apprentice, electrologist's apprentice or nail technologist's apprentice is valid for training only with the licensed cosmetologist, hair designer, esthetician, electrologist or nail technologist and the cosmetological establishment approved by the Board when the certificate of registration was issued.

2. Authorization of a licensed cosmetologist, hair designer, esthetician, electrologist or nail technologist to supervise and train an apprentice is valid only for the apprentice named in the certificate of registration and only for the period during which the apprentice holds the certificate of registration.

3. If an apprentice is unable to complete the number of hours of training required by NRS 644A.300, 644A.315, 644A.330, 644A.345 or 644A.400, as amended by section 32 of Senate Bill No. 249, chapter 165, Statutes of Nevada 2023, at page 884, as appropriate, with the licensed cosmetologist, hair designer, esthetician, electrologist or nail technologist or the cosmetological establishment approved by the Board when the certificate of registration was issued:

4. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the Board may allow an apprentice who applies for and receives a new certificate of registration pursuant to subsection 3 to apply training hours earned pursuant to his or her previous certificate of registration to the number of hours of training required pursuant to NRS 644A.300, 644A.315, 644A.330, 644A.345 or 644A.400, as amended by section 32 of Senate Bill No. 249, chapter 165, Statutes of Nevada 2023, at page 884, as appropriate. The Board will not allow the application of incomplete hours earned 4 years or more before the date that the apprentice applies for the new certificate of registration.

5. If the reason that an apprentice must apply for a new certificate of registration pursuant to subsection 3 is because the licensed cosmetologist, hair designer, esthetician, electrologist or nail technologist or the cosmetological establishment approved by the Board when the certificate of registration was issued refuses or is unable to complete the training, the Board may waive the application fee for that applicant.
