HEP B VACCINATION INFO - You must provide documentation from your PCP confirming completion of the Hepatitis B vaccine series (3 doses over 6 months). - If records aren’t available but you believe you’ve completed the series, ask your PCP to run a Hep B titer test to confirm immunity (anti-HBs antibodies). - Hep B vaccination is required by nearly all towns for apprenticeship and all towns for licensure. If you haven’t completed the vaccine series yet: - You may begin your observation hours, but cannot participate in hands-on clinical work until your Hep B vaccination is complete.

APPRENTICE PORTAL RESOURCES The portal gives you access to: - Step-by-step guides for setting up your business and getting started professionally - A consult guide for booking and preparing potential models - An online booking portal to schedule, reschedule, or cancel clinic and observation days - Downloadable PDFs of all required model paperwork and forms - A Clinic Day Procedure Form submission portal to log completed procedures and clinical notes - A detailed FAQ section to answer all your apprenticeship-related questions

MODELS FOR SUPERVISED PROCEDURES -Apprentices must provide their own models for all clinic days. - You may charge your models to help offset your clinic day costs. Session Breakdown - Each completed procedure requires 3 hours and counts as one clinic session. - If a model receives two procedures (e.g., brows and lips), that’s two clinic sessions (6 hours total). - Follow-up appointments for each procedure are also considered completed procedures and count as additional clinic sessions.

WHAT DOES A CLINIC DAY LOOK LIKE? Arrival: Apprentice arrives at the start of the session, 15 minutes before the model, for setup, prep, and Q&A. Model arrival: Model should arrive 15 minutes after your start time. Paperwork: - Model must complete all required paperwork before arrival. - Consent form will be signed in person on the day of service. This avoids delays and keeps the appointment on schedule. Procedure: 2.5-hour supervised session with your model. Wrap-up: 15 minutes for checkout, clean-up, and post-session Q&A.

COST OF CLINIC DAYS Please set up your virtual info session with Pure Skin for more detail on pricing. Payment Plans: - Available for both single sessions and packages via PayLater, AfterPay, or Affirm (4 interest-free payments at checkout).

WHAT IF I ALREADY HAVE SOME COMPLETED PROCEDURES WITH ANOTHER ARTIST? That is totally fine. Pure Skin will sign off on all completed procedures completed at our clinic. These can be combined with your prior procedures for licensure application.
