Credit for Out-of-State Barber Training

PURPOSE: This rule establishes the requirements for obtaining a barber license when training hours have been obtained outside of Missouri. (1) Credit for Out-of-State Barber Training. (A) Any person who lawfully practiced or received training in another state or country who does not qualify for licensure without examination may apply to the board for licensure by examination. The board will evaluate the applicant’s experience and training to determine the extent to which the applicant’s training and experience satisfies current Missouri licensing requirements. Any person that receives credit for out-of-state training but still does not meet the qualifications to take the Missouri barber examination will receive notice from the board of the exact training requirements necessary to completely satisfy the state examination qualifications as set forth in chapter 328, RSMo. The applicant for licensure under this subsection shall pay the appropriate examination and licensure fees. 1. An applicant for the Missouri barber examination, as an apprentice or a student, who has obtained training hours outside Missouri may be given credit for those training hours so long as they were received from a licensed barber school or licensed apprentice program in another state. 2. For purposes of review of an application for examination from an applicant pursuant to section 328.085.2, RSMo, an applicant’s training and experience will be deemed to satisfy current Missouri licensing requirements if the training and experience is substantially the same as the training and experience requirements for barbers in section 328.080, RSMo and Column A of rule 20 CSR 2085-12.030(1). (B) Any person desiring credit for training received in another state shall submit an affidavit completed by the state licensing board or the school where the hours were completed which verifies the following: applicant name; school name and address; date of termination of training; total hours earned by the student and distribution of those hours by subject for each of the subject areas required by section 328.080, RSMo and Column A of rule 20 CSR 2085-12.030(1), for which credit is sought. The affidavit shall be completed on a form supplied by the board and shall also contain the name and title of the person completing the form, the date completed and the state board seal, school seal or notary statement. Training completed by the applicant shall be recognized by the board for a period of no more than five (5) years. (C) All foreign documents or documents not in the English language must be certified by a board approved credential evaluating service.
