NAC644.161. Validity of certificate of registration; validity of authorization to supervise.

     1. A certificate of registration as a cosmetologist’s apprentice is valid for training only with the licensed cosmetologist and the cosmetological establishment approved by the Board when the certificate of registration was issued.

     2. Authorization of a licensed cosmetologist to supervise and train a cosmetologist’s apprentice is valid only for the cosmetologist’s apprentice named in the certificate of registration and only for the period during which the cosmetologist’s apprentice holds the certificate of registration.

     3. If a cosmetologist’s apprentice is unable to complete the number of hours of training required by NRS 644.200 with the licensed cosmetologist or the cosmetological establishment approved by the Board when the certificate of registration was issued:

     (a) That certificate of registration is not valid for use with another supervising licensed cosmetologist or cosmetological establishment; and

     (b) The cosmetologist’s apprentice may apply for a new certificate of registration with a different supervising licensed cosmetologist or a different cosmetological establishment named as the site for the training of the cosmetologist’s apprentice.

     4. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the Board may allow a cosmetologist’s apprentice who applies for and receives a new certificate of registration pursuant to subsection 3 to apply training hours earned pursuant to his previous certificate of registration to the number of hours of training required pursuant to NRS 644.200. The Board will not allow the application of hours earned 4 years or more before the date that the cosmetologist’s apprentice applies for the new certificate of registration.

     5. If the reason that a cosmetologist’s apprentice must apply for a new certificate of registration pursuant to subsection 3 is because the licensed cosmetologist 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.
