More Information on Initial Licensing/Certification for Manufactured Housing
Note: 2026 Class fees cover Phase I and Phase II.
- Phase I includes all lesson plans necessary to complete the statutory educational requirements. Your automated educational experience includes downloadable links for class reference materials, a series of online narrated instructional videos, as well as content examinations. Upon successful completion of the educational curriculum, a certificate of completion will be issued and is immediately available to print right from your course dashboard.
- Phase II of meeting initial licensing/certification statutory requirements will be passing a State issued exam, given by Morris & McDaniel, Inc, which is the contracting proctor firm hired by the State of Tennessee. (See required preparation for online state exam, linked below.)
- Once you have successfully completed and passed all online educational lessons and content exams, along with a master curriculum exam, the Association will notify Morris & McDaniel you are an approved candidate to schedule an online state exam.
- There is a $40.00 no show fee for candidates. Rescheduling an exam less than two hours in advance will incur an additional $12 on-demand scheduling fee.
- Then, see ''What Comes Next?", for specific instructions on submitting the required documentation to the State of Tennessee, in order to apply for a license or certification as a manufactured home retailer or installer.
What Comes Next?
- Once you have completed all requirements of initial licensing/certification education and passed your state exam, OR you have completed your continuing education for license or certification renewal, please ensure you submit your required documentation to the State of Tennessee, via their online portal or one of the methods described in the downloadable documents below.
- Note: THA provides the education needed to obtain or renew a license or certification in Tennessee, but THA does not process, renew, suspend or revoke licenses. All credentials are issued by the Regulatory Department (Commerce & Insurance, State Fire Marshal's Office, the Manufactured Housing Division). THA does not have your license number or the expiration dates of your license or certification. If you have questions relating to the expiration of your credentials, you may call the Regulatory Department at 615/741-7192, Option #1.
- Please note, as of April 15th 2024, the State has added a new form for those who only wish to be 'CERTIFIED'. You may find the form linked just below in the 'FORMS' section. Please fill out this form and submit with your application for credentials or annual renewals, once you have completed your continuing educational curriculum.
