If you are licensed in another state, experience credit in-lieu-of-training will be allowed for practical experience under license in that state as follows:
Credit of fifty (50) hours of instruction in an approved school of barbering, will be given for each three (3) months of practical experience as a licensed barber or a barber-stylist in another state, territory, possession or country. (Example: If a barber-stylist, is licensed in a state which does not have requirements equal to the requirements of Idaho, or for any other reason does not have endorsement with Idaho, such applicant is required to meet the educational requirements of Idaho.) If the applicant has completed a course of one thousand six hundred (1,600) hours of instruction in a licensed school in such other state and has one (1) year of practical experience as a licensed barber-stylist, he is considered to have completed two hundred (200) hours of instruction in school, and is eligible to take the examination for Idaho barber-stylist license.
