A salon that allows an employee to learn on the job through apprenticeship instead of going to school to be trained must do which of the following?

An apprenticeship used as an alternative to formal cosmetology school must meet state licensing rules. The salon therefore needs to have the apprenticeship program approved by the state. The other choices—paying for continuing-education classes, paying a salary, or employing three licensed cosmetologists—are not the central approval requirement.
