If an apprentice's license is revoked, what must be done to regain it?

To regain an apprentice's license after it has been revoked, the individual must take a 250-hour refresher course and retake the barber exam. This requirement ensures that the apprentice is adequately updated on current practices, skills, and regulations within the barbering profession after a period of license inactivity or revocation.

Taking the refresher course helps reinforce foundational knowledge and skills that may have diminished during the time when the license was not active, thus supporting a higher standard of competency in the field. Retaking the barber exam serves as a final assessment of the apprentice's knowledge and suitability to practice, ensuring they meet the state's requirements for licensure.

This process underscores the importance of continuous education and competency in the barbering profession, which is crucial for maintaining quality and safety standards for both practitioners and clients. Other potential approaches, such as simply submitting a new application or waiting a certain period before reapplying, do not adequately assess or ensure the apprentice's readiness to practice, which is why these routes are not the answer.
