How much of the training hours earned in a beauty shop can apprentices transferring to a beauty school receive credit for?

Apprentices transferring from a beauty shop to a beauty school in Hawaii can receive credit for half of the training hours they have earned. This policy is in place to ensure that students who have gained practical experience in a real-world setting can carry forward some of that knowledge and skill into their formal education.

Receiving credit for half of the hours acknowledges the valuable hands-on training that occurs in a beauty shop environment, which complements the theoretical instruction provided at beauty schools. This approach helps streamline the educational process and allows students to progress more effectively in obtaining their cosmetology license by building on the foundations they have already established.
