Education FAQs

How much continuing education is required by the Tennessee Real Estate Commission (TREC) to renew my real estate license?

The Tennessee Real Estate Commission (TREC) requires most licensees to complete a total of 16 hours of continuing education every two-year license term. Licensees are required to complete a TREC Core class every license term which counts for 6 of the required 16 continuing education hours. Your license term begins two years before the expiration date listed on your license.

What is the difference between Code of Ethics and TREC Core?

The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) requires all members to take a Code of Ethics class every three years in order to maintain their membership. More information on the Code of Ethics requirements can be found here.

The TN Real Estate Commission (TREC) requires all licensees to complete a TREC Core class every license term. More information on TREC's education requirements can be found here.

I took a class, but I do not see it in my CE Broker account. What should I do?

Course providers have 10 business days to report course completions. If your class completion is not showing on your CE Broker account after 10 business days, contact the course provider.

I purchased an online course through a link on the Greater Nashville REALTORS® website, and now I don’t know how to get back to my course. How do I find it?

When you select an online course provider on the Greater Nashville REALTORS® website, you are taken to one of our approved partner’s sites where you purchased the course and create a username and password to access the course. To find your course, select the course provider from the list here, and login to the site with the username and password you created when you purchased the course. 

I need to cancel a class. Can I get a refund?

Class registrations may be canceled with full reimbursement of the registration fee up to three business days before the class date. NO REFUNDS for any class registration cancelation submitted less than three business days of the class date will be granted. Class registration cancelations must be submitted via email to education@greaternashvillerealtors.org.
