Build a Tennessee plan for 1,500 school hours, PSI account setup, theory before practical, remote or test-center delivery, virtual or onsite practical rules, 70 passing scores, three-year completion timing, and the six-month CORE application window.
Tennessee candidates depend on school-submitted PSI eligibility, then must pass theory before scheduling practical. We keep the education record, PSI delivery mode, national theory study, practical kit rehearsal, score reports, and CORE Initial Cosmetologist application on one timeline.
Tennessee candidates should confirm school-submitted eligibility first, pass theory before practical, and keep both PSI and CORE deadlines visible.
Tennessee cosmetology schools submit eligibility to PSI after course requirements are completed, and candidates then pay and schedule with PSI.
The Tennessee cosmetologist route requires 1,500 hours at a cosmetology school and passing both practical and theory exams.
The PSI bulletin states candidates must pass the theory portion before paying for and scheduling the practical portion.
Candidates have 3 years to pass both portions for licensure and 6 months after passing both portions to apply for the license.
Tennessee candidates rely on their education provider to submit eligibility to PSI. HiraEdu confirms the school completion status, candidate email, legal name, PSI account, language needs, and whether the candidate is taking theory at a test center or remotely.
The Tennessee PSI bulletin requires passing the theory portion before the practical portion can be paid for and scheduled. Prep therefore starts with national theory domains and computer-based pacing, then shifts into practical kit organization, virtual or onsite setup, and service demonstration timing.
After passing both exam portions, Tennessee candidates use CORE for the Initial Cosmetologist application with exam scores and photo ID. We track the three-year exam-completion window and the six-month post-pass license application window so the credential step is not missed.
