Rule 130-4-.06 - ApprenticesNo cosmetology salon/shop shall have in training more than one apprentice for each person licensed at the master cosmetologist, hair designer esthetician or nail technician level. More than one apprentice is permissible if affirmatively shown to the Georgia State Board of Cosmetology that the apprentice will be denied the opportunity of learning the profession of cosmetology, hair design, esthetics, or nail technology provided that the burden of proof shall be upon the person or persons seeking to show that the opportunity to learn the profession has been denied.
(1) Each apprentice shall be trained and supervised by one master cosmetologist as shown on the apprentice's registration filed with the Board by the salon/shop owner/manager. (2) The salon/shop owner/manager may temporarily designate a qualified master to train and supervise the apprentice in the absence of the master licensee who is registered with the Board as being the master responsible for training the apprentice. The temporarily designated master shall have at least 36 months experience and shall have held a certificate of a master for at least 36 months as required by O.C.G.A. § 43-10-14(a). The burden of proof for establishing that circumstances exist which require assigning an apprentice to another licensed and qualified master on a temporary basis shall be deemed to have been met if the training master is absent from the salon/shop for a limited duration of time. Such time periods include, but are not limited to, illness, jury duty, military leave, absences for personal business or travel, vacation, temporary leave of absence from work, or a leave under the federal "Family and Medical Leave Act". (3) Any apprentice training hours obtained at a location other than the salon/shop registered with the Board as the apprentice's training salon/shop shall not be counted toward the number of hours required for examination and licensing.Ga.
