DLA Academy

The time required to complete the ELDT course depends on your pace. Most trainees complete the course less than one (1) hour, but this may vary based on your availability and familiarity with the material.

Once you successfully complete the course, your certification will be uploaded to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry within 24–48 hours.

It depends. If you obtained your CDL before February 7, 2022, you are exempt from ELDT requirements for that license class. However, if you are adding a new endorsement — such as Hazmat, Passenger, or School Bus — for the first time, ELDT theory is still required regardless of when you got your CDL.

The FMCSA Training Provider Registry (TPR) is a federal database of approved ELDT training providers. When you complete a course with DLA Academy, we submit your results directly to the TPR within 24–48 hours. Your state DMV then verifies your training before allowing you to schedule your CDL skills or endorsement test.

It depends on what CDL or endorsement you are applying for. First-time CDL A applicants need the CDL A Theory ELDT. First-time CDL B applicants need the CDL B Theory ELDT. Drivers adding Hazmat, Passenger, or School Bus endorsements need the corresponding endorsement ELDT course. Visit our Do You Need ELDT? page for a full breakdown.

Yes. If you need multiple endorsements or are upgrading your CDL class, you can purchase and complete multiple courses. Each course is just $20 and can be completed independently at your own pace.
