Seniors can apply to a free program that allows them to get a real estate license while completing high school. The Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance (TDCI) Division of Regulatory Boards has launched the Tennessee High School Senior Real Estate Licensing Program for high school seniors who can obtain a real estate license while completing high school. The program allows qualifying students to jumpstart a career in real estate sales. Students must complete a 60-hour pre-licensing course and the 30-hour Tennessee New Affiliate course through TDCI’s licensing education partners at Kaplan.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Tennessee high school seniors can now apply to a free program that allows them to get a real estate license while completing high school.
The Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance’s (“TDCI”) Division of Regulatory Boards launched the Tennessee High School Senior Real Estate Licensing Program. The program gives qualifying Tennessee seniors a way to jump start a career in real estate sales.
Students must complete a 60-hour Tennessee Affiliate Broker pre-licensing course and the 30-hour Tennessee New Affiliate course through TDCI’s licensing education partners at Kaplan. Once enrolled, students have six to 12 months (even after high school graduation) to finish the program.
After finishing the courses, students will then need to complete state and national real-estate exams.
The program is available to all Tennessee graduating seniors but has a dedicated focus on the state’s economically distressed counties.
An application to the program can be found here.
“The Tennessee High School Senior Real Estate Licensing Program is an extension of our Department’s mission to empower professionals by giving high school students a way to begin a potentially high-earning career in real estate upon their graduation,” said TDCI Commissioner Carter Lawrence.
“By covering the costs of the required coursework while students are still finishing their high school coursework, the Tennessee Real Estate Commission is helping grow Tennessee’s workforce and strengthen our economy,” said TDCI Assistant Commissioner for Regulatory Boards Alex Martin.
“I believe a career in real estate can be among the most rewarding professions a person can pursue. This program offers high school seniors an entry point to this profession earlier than ever before,” said Commission Chairman Geoff Diaz.
“This program will help encourage high school seniors who might not have plans to attend a trade school or a university to gain a professional education that can lead to personal improvement,” said Commission Executive Director Denise Beard Baker.
