Each person training as an apprentice shall be required to have the same qualifications as a student for admission into a beauty school, and shall be registered with the State Board of Cosmetology before commencing said training. No apprentice shall engage in any of the practices of cosmetology except under the immediate supervision of a licensed instructor in a beauty shop approved by the board for apprentice training. All apprentices must wear a badge which designates them as an apprentice and is furnished by the Board with the apprentice license. Only one apprentice may be registered to receive training in any beauty shop at any one time. Completion of three thousand (3,000) hours of apprentice training in a beauty shop is the equivalent of one thousand five hundred (1,500) hours' training in a cosmetology school and shall entitle said apprentice to take an operator's examination.
