	(c)  An instructor may not sponsor a student-instructor.  
	(d)  An instructor must provide training and instruction to the same extent required of a school of barbering, hairdressing, manicuring, or esthetics.  
	(e)  An instructor must provide a time clock in the shop for the recording of the apprentice's attendance. An instructor must maintain daily records of an apprentice's number of hours of instructional coursework and number of practical operations.  
	(f)  An instructor may not credit an apprentice for more than 10 hours of training in any one day.  
	(g)  All records required to be maintained by an instructor under this section must be maintained in an orderly, alphabetical, or numerical filing system and must be made available for inspection by any member of the board upon reasonable notice.  
	(h)  An apprentice may not perform work in a shop unless the licensed barber, hairdresser, nail technician, or esthetician instructor responsible for the apprentice's training is on the premises.  
	(i)  Not later than the 15th day after the calendar quarter, on a form provided by the department, an instructor shall submit a report on each apprentice enrolled. The quarterly report must  
		(1) include the exact number of hours of theoretical and practical training completed by the apprentice during the previous quarter;  
		(2) include the exact number and type of operations completed by the apprentice during the previous quarter; and  
		(3) maintain continuity from month-to-month, from the date of enrollment to the date of termination or completion of the course of instruction regardless of attendance by the apprentice.  
	(j)  Not later than 20 working days after termination of instruction of an apprentice, the instructor shall notify the department, on a form provided by the department, of the termination. The termination report must include the date of the apprentice's enrollment, the date of termination, the total number and types of operations performed by the apprentice, and the total number of hours and types of training received by the apprentice. The termination report is subject to audit and may be utilized to establish credit hours for transfer and reenrollment under 12 AAC 09.135.  
	(k)  Not later than five working days after completion by an apprentice of a course of training, the instructor in a shop shall submit to the board an affidavit showing the total number of operations, and the total number of hours of training and theoretical instruction completed by the apprentice, and the date of completion of the training. This affidavit will serve as certification by the instructor that the apprentice meets eligibility requirements necessary for examination for licensure.  
	(l)  Upon completion of a course of instruction under this section, an apprentice is eligible to take the appropriate examination in the license category of barbering, hairdressing, manicuring, or esthetics. The instructor shall notify the board of an apprentice completing the course of instruction not later than 30 days after the completion by submitting records of apprenticeship in accordance with this section.  
	(m)  An apprentice who interrupts the apprentice's training for a continuous period of two years will not be allowed credit for apprenticeship instruction and training received before the interruption.  
	(n)  The board will not give credit for apprenticeship work completed before the apprentice has a valid student permit.  
	(o)  For an apprentice who has completed an apprenticeship and has passed the licensing examination, the student permit expires 30 days after the student is notified in writing of passage of the examination. After passing the examination, an apprentice may, under the supervision of a licensed instructor, continue to practice under the student permit until the student permit expires under this subsection or a valid practitioner license is issued, whichever occurs first.
