61G3-16.010 Supervised Practice Exception.
(1) Following the completion of both the written and practical portions of the first licensing examination by an applicant for licensure as a barber by examination who has completed the barber training required by Chapter 476, F.S. and Rule 61G3-16.001, F.A.C, the applicant is eligible to practice as a barber and perform barbering services temporarily in a current, actively licensed barbershop under the following conditions:
(a) In the event an applicant obtains a passing scores on the examination on the first attempt of both the written and practical portions of the examination, the applicant shall be eligible, prior to having the application acted on by the Board, to practice in a licensed barbershop, provided that the applicant post the examination results for both portions of the examination at the work station with a recent photograph affixed thereto.
(b) In the event that the applicant fails to obtain a passing score on either or both of the written or practical portion of the examination on the first attempt, the applicant shall not be eligible to practice under this rule until the applicant:
1. Applies to the Department for authorization to retake the failed portion(s) of the examination; and
2. Presents the holder of the license for the barbershop a copy of both the reexamination application and the examination scheduling authorization letter from the department or the qualified outside testing vendor.
3. Upon completion of these conditions, the applicant is eligible to practice in a licensed barbershop subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) referenced below, provided that the applicant posts the examination results for both portions of the examination at the work station with a recent photograph affixed thereto. The applicant must discontinue practicing when 180 days have passed from the date the written or practical portion of the first examination was taken, whichever portion was taken earlier, if reexamination has not yet been completed. Under no circumstances shall the applicant be eligible to practice prior to having applied for reexamination and having obtained the examination scheduling authorization letter from the department or the qualified outside testing vendor.
(c) All barbering services performed by the applicant under this exception shall be performed under the supervision of a licensed barber. Under the supervision of a licensed barber shall mean that an individual who then holds a current, active Florida license as a barber shall be physically present at all times when the applicant is performing barbering services.
(2) In the event an applicant, who previously failed either or both portions of the examination on the first attempt, fails to obtain a passing score on either or both portions of the second licensure examination, the applicant is no longer eligible to practice as a barber under this exception and must immediately discontinue practicing barbering services until the applicant has been issued a license to practice by the Department.
