Not sure which one?
- I already have a CDL and want to add an endorsement — you only need the endorsement course: Hazmat, Passenger, or School Bus, $20 each. Skip CDL-A and CDL-B entirely.
- I'm brand new and have no CDL — start with CDL-A or CDL-B theory, then complete behind-the-wheel training locally. Theory alone does not get you licensed.
- I want all three endorsements — the 3-endorsement bundle is $50 instead of $60 separately.
- What's the cheapest way to do everything? — bundles are the floor: $50 for H+P+S, or $30 for either CDL theory course paired with permit prep. Adding Hazmat all-in, including the federal TSA background check and your state's endorsement fee, typically runs $110–$150.
- Tanker (N) or Doubles/Triples (T)? — neither has an ELDT requirement. The federal rule covers Class A, Class B, the B-to-A upgrade, and Hazmat, Passenger and School Bus only. Both are knowledge-test only at your state DMV: Tanker Test Prep — $15, or Hazmat & Tanker Complete — $45 if you need the Hazmat ELDT too.

FMCSA Hazmat Training in New Jersey — What "FMCSA-Approved" Actually Means
FMCSA hazmat training is the federal Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) theory course you must finish before New Jersey will let you take the Hazmat knowledge test. DLA Academy is listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry, so New Jersey hazmat ELDT training taken here counts federally — $20, online, and filed to the TPR within 24 hours.
One point worth clearing up, because the wording trips people up: FMCSA does not issue a "hazmat certification." There is no federal hazmat certificate or card. What actually happens is a two-part handoff — FMCSA registers your training on the Training Provider Registry, and New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (NJ MVC) issues the H endorsement onto your CDL once the TSA threat assessment clears and you pass the knowledge test.
So if you are searching for "FMCSA hazmat certification in New Jersey," what you need is: FMCSA-approved hazmat ELDT theory (this course), TSA fingerprinting, and the NJ MVC knowledge test. The endorsement itself comes from NJ MVC — never from FMCSA or from a training provider.
