Please NOTE: Tennessee real estate license students are required to take two courses for licensure:

1. 60 Hour Tennessee Affiliate Broker Real Estate Principles Course
2. 30 Hour Tennessee New Affiliate Course. 

Students must take the 60 Hour Principles Course before taking the Tennessee real estate state exam BUT the Tennessee Real Estate Commission will not issue a license to students until students have completed the 30 Hour New Affiliate Course.  So Cooke Real Estate School has a special package pricing for the two courses, so students can easily fulfill the license requirements in total.  

So for package pricing:

Plus a Special EXTRA no other school has available to their students:

A video presentation of the basic principles of real estate portion to assist students in preparing for the course exam and Tennessee State Exam.  This is an exam program for the auditory or visual learner. Plus, a "How To" tutorial on taking exams.  These presentations are ONLY to assist students in the learning process and are NOT a part of the on-line course. 

• Why FREE??  Because Cooke's goal is to help students to obtain their goal of passing the Tennessee end-of-course exam and state exam.
