How many hours of pre-license education does Tennessee require?
60 hours of real estate principles and fundamentals before the exam, plus the 30-hour Course for New Affiliates before your license is issued.
When can I register for the exam?
Only after your school sends PSI proof that you finished the 60 hours. The school also gives you a completion certificate to submit with your license application.
What do I submit with my application?
Your PSI exam application signed by your principal broker, proof of errors and omissions insurance, proof of high school graduation, the Eligibility for Entitlements Verification form and your electronic fingerprint receipt.
How long do I have to apply after passing?
One year from the day you pass your first exam section. You apply online through CORE, and the application fee is $91.
Are attorneys exempt?
No. Attorneys must meet the same requirements, though certain law school classes may count toward the education with a transcript.
