Any person who successfully completes the term of apprenticeship pursuant to this chapter may apply to the commission for a temporary license which will authorize the applicant to perform all the practices of a regularly licensed cosmetologist or nail technician, as applicable. The temporary license application shall be accompanied with:
(1) Evidence satisfactory to the commission that the applicant possesses the qualifications required pursuant to § 36-15-15;
(2) Evidence satisfactory to the commission that the apprenticeship period has been completed;
(3) The fee for a temporary license as provided in this chapter; and
