Alaska CDL Requirements — Quick Reference

To get any Commercial Driver's License in Alaska you'll work through Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles (Alaska DMV). Federal ELDT requirements apply across all 49 states — DLA Academy's online theory courses satisfy the ELDT mandate, and behind-the-wheel training (where required for CDL A or CDL B) must be completed locally at an FMCSA-registered BTW provider.

For Hazmat endorsements, Alaska uses the standard IDEMIA TSA enrollment process — schedule your fingerprinting through Universal Enroll.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What does ELDT mean, and why do I need it in Alaska?+
ELDT is Entry-Level Driver Training — a federal requirement for anyone obtaining a CDL issued after February 7, 2022. Drivers who got their CDL before that date are grandfathered, but they still need ELDT if they're adding a new endorsement (H, P, S) or upgrading to a higher class. The Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles (Alaska DMV) verifies your ELDT completion by checking the FMCSA Training Provider Registry. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and auto-submits your completion within 24 hours.
How long does each ELDT course take?+
Each individual ELDT course (Hazmat, CDL-A Theory, CDL-B Theory, School Bus, Passenger) completes in under 2 hours. You can knock out a course in one sitting or break it into multiple sessions — it's entirely up to you. Your progress saves automatically.
What's the difference between CDL-A Permit Prep and CDL-A Theory ELDT?+
CDL-A Permit Prep ($15) is a study tool for the Alaska DMV's Class A CLP knowledge test — it contains 119 practice questions covering general knowledge, air brakes, and combination vehicles. CDL-A Theory ELDT ($20) is the federally-mandated online training you complete before the skills test. You need both: take Permit Prep to study for the DMV test, then complete CDL-A Theory ELDT to meet the federal mandate. Permit Prep is not FMCSA-approved; ELDT is.
How much does ELDT cost, and what do you recommend?+
Individual ELDT courses are $20 each. CDL-A Permit Prep is $15. We also offer three bundles that save you money: the CDL Complete Bundle ($45 — includes CDL-A ELDT, CDL-B ELDT, and Permit Prep, saves $10 vs. buying separately), the 3-Endorsement Bundle ($50 — Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus, saves $10), and the Hazmat + DMV Test Prep Bundle ($30, saves $5). DLA Academy is the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved option on the market.
Does ELDT include behind-the-wheel training?+
No. DLA Academy covers the theory — the online classroom part. Behind-the-wheel (BTW) training must be completed separately at a local FMCSA-registered provider. For Class A and Class B CDL applicants, BTW is a distinct step that comes after you pass the knowledge test (CLP) and complete ELDT. Hazmat, Passenger, and School Bus ELDT are theory-only; no BTW is required for those endorsements.
