* If you are unsure of the Tennessee Certified Handgun Permit School to attend, you can complete the application first.  After the application has been completed, you can get a list of schools that are in your county.  Keep in mind that once you complete the application, your confirmation number is only good for 6 months.  After that you will have to complete the online application again.

Tennessee updated their web site and the process getting a confirmation number.  Please use the new links below.
