What Tennessee requires to license an electrologist in 2026 — training hours, the written exam, the passing score, and what our practice tests do and do not cover. Verified against Tennessee Department of Health — Electrolysis Registry (Board of Examiners in Electrolysis).
Every question comes with a full rationale. When that isn’t enough — the concept is new, the wording is dense, you got it right by luck — tap Explain and the tutor talks you through it: why your answer was wrong, and what the right idea actually is. Ask it anything back, as many times as you need.
If English isn’t the language you learned this in, it teaches in yours, switched whenever you like. The questions stay in English, because that is how you will see them on exam day. Where enough candidates ask we translate the prep itself — so far Spanish, Korean, Vietnamese, Russian and Simplified Chinese, on the products that have it.

The exam
Tennessee licenses electrologists through Tennessee Department of Health — Electrolysis Registry (Board of Examiners in Electrolysis). Candidates sit a written examination accepted by the American Electrology Association (AEA) or the Society for Clinical and Medical Hair Removal, Inc. (SCME), under rules 0540-01. The Board adopts whatever passing score those bodies certify and publishes none of its own.
Training: 600 hours — the sum of 175 and 425, rather than a single stated figure — to be completed within 12 months.
Tennessee tests electrologists with a written examination accepted by the AEA or the SCME; Tennessee Department of Health — Electrolysis Registry (Board of Examiners in Electrolysis) publishes no content outline. This practice test follows the NIC National Electrology theory model (45 % scientific concepts · 55 % electrology procedures and services), the national blueprint NIC publishes for it. PSI publishes a separate National Electrology outline, which California, Michigan and Massachusetts sit; Hawaii sits its own PSI form.
