Do I have to take a Code Of Ethics course?
At this time, the Tennessee Real Estate Commission does not require you to maintain a Code Of Ethics course for renewal or licensing. You may contact the association that you are affiliated with to verify if they require this course for membership.
What is the TREC CORE course?
It is a specific six (6) hour course designed by the Commission which is required to be taken by licensees who must complete the 16-hour continuing education requirement. Licensees should remember that a failure to complete the TREC CORE course will prevent renewal of the license even if the licensee completes a total of 16 hours of education.
I want to take a real estate education course in another state for a designation I am working on. Will I automatically get credit because it was given by the National Association?
No. All courses must be pre-approved by the Commission. You are responsible for ensuring that the courses you complete are approved by the Commission. The sponsor must apply for course approval before the course is given. The Commission does not give retroactive credit.
Does the Commission recommend any real estate continuing education/coursework classes and companies?
The Tennessee Real Estate Commission (TREC) does not recommend schools, classes, or instructors. A complete listing of approved schools and courses can be found here. You will also find the link for application packets and the TREC Instructor Training manual at this link.
