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 $45 for CDL-A + CDL-B + 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)? — those need no ELDT at all. They are knowledge-test only at your state DMV, so there is nothing to buy here for them.

FMCSA Hazmat Training in Vermont — What "FMCSA-Approved" Actually Means
FMCSA hazmat training is the federal Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) theory course you must finish before Vermont will let you take the Hazmat knowledge test. DLA Academy is listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry, so Vermont 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 Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (VT DMV) 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 Vermont," what you need is: FMCSA-approved hazmat ELDT theory (this course), TSA fingerprinting, and the VT DMV knowledge test. The endorsement itself comes from VT DMV — never from FMCSA or from a training provider.

TSA Hazmat Fingerprinting
For the Hazmat endorsement, Vermont requires a TSA threat assessment. Schedule your fingerprinting appointment through IDEMIA (Universal Enroll). Results typically take 30–45 days. Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (VT DMV) cannot add the H endorsement to your CDL until TSA clears you.
