Announcement

Both the initial and renewal course applications for education providers can now be filed online here Access (tn.gov).

If you’ve never used this site before, you will first need to register an account prior to being able to access the applications.

You will need to onboard your provider information prior to gaining access to the applications. To onboard, you will be required to provide your provider license number, entity number, and zip code. If you do not have some or all of this data required to onboard your license, please email the board at Home.Inspector.Licensing@TN.Gov and we would be happy to provide it to you.

Once your provider license is onboarded, for initial courses, you should search for the application (Initial Course Application) under the “Apply” section. Available renewal applications can be found under the My Licenses or Permits section.

PLEASE NOTE: Each new course will require a new application. If you have recently mailed in paper applications for new courses, please do not apply for that course online.
