What is the primary purpose of a Temporary license?

The primary purpose of a temporary license is to allow individuals to practice pending the grading of their exam. This enables aspiring nail technicians to start gaining practical experience in a professional setting while they await the official results of their licensing examination. This process aids in ensuring that there are enough qualified professionals available to meet the demands of the industry without making candidates wait an extended period before they can begin working. A temporary license effectively bridges the gap between completing training and obtaining full licensure.

In contrast to this, the other options do not accurately reflect the main function of a temporary license. Practicing without supervision may be a part of the professional journey, but it typically requires a full license. Similarly, operating a school is not a purpose served by a temporary license, as schools have distinct licensing requirements and regulations of their own. Additionally, extending the license validity is unrelated to the temporary license's intent, as this type of license does not modify or extend the duration of existing licenses.
