What percentage of program time must a student complete before they can work on clients?

In order for a student to begin working on clients, they must have completed a minimum of 15% of their program time. This requirement is in place to ensure that students have gained enough foundational knowledge and practical skills before engaging with clients. The initial phase of training is crucial, as it typically covers essential theories, sanitation practices, and basic techniques that form the groundwork for more advanced skills and client interactions.

Completing 15% of the program allows students to demonstrate a level of competence and understanding that is necessary for safe and effective client work. Moreover, it aligns with industry standards to protect both the student and clients from potential issues arising from inadequate training.
