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.
Getting a CDL in Kansas means working with the Kansas Department of Revenue — Division of Vehicles (Kansas DOR). As of February 7, 2022, all new CDL applicants must complete FMCSA-approved Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) before taking the skills test. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved, listed on the Training Provider Registry, and the lowest-priced option available — all courses complete in under 2 hours and are auto-submitted to FMCSA within 24 hours.

We offer five FMCSA-approved ELDT courses: CDL-A Theory ELDT ($20), CDL-B Theory ELDT ($20), Hazmat ELDT ($20), School Bus ELDT ($20), and Passenger ELDT ($20). Each course covers the federal knowledge and skills required for that license class or endorsement. We also offer CDL-A Permit Prep ($15), a DMV practice-question study tool — it's not ELDT, but it pairs with CDL-A Theory ELDT to help you pass the Kansas DOR knowledge test for your Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP).
How long does it take to complete an ELDT course?+
Each individual ELDT course completes in under 2 hours. You can start and finish in a single session, or pause and resume as needed. CDL-A Permit Prep (the 119 DMV practice questions) also completes quickly — usually 30–45 minutes depending on your pace.
What's the cost of DLA Academy's ELDT courses?+
Individual ELDT courses are $20 each. CDL-A Permit Prep is $15. We also offer three bundles that save money: the Hazmat + DMV Test Prep Bundle ($30 — saves $5 vs. $35 if bought separately), the CDL Complete Bundle ($45 — includes CDL-A ELDT, CDL-B ELDT, and CDL-A Permit Prep; saves $10 vs. $55 individual), and the 3-Endorsement Bundle ($50 — Hazmat, Passenger, and School Bus ELDT; saves $10 vs. $60 individual). DLA Academy is the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved provider.
Is DLA Academy ELDT accepted in Kansas?+
Yes. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the Training Provider Registry. All completions are auto-submitted to FMCSA within 24 hours. The Kansas DOR verifies your ELDT by querying the Registry — no additional paperwork is needed. DLA Academy is accepted in 49 states (Washington excluded).
Do I need ELDT if I already have a CDL issued before February 7, 2022?+
If your CDL was issued before February 7, 2022, you do not need to retrain for that license class. However, if you're adding a new endorsement (Hazmat, Passenger, or School Bus) or upgrading to a higher class (e.g., Class B to Class A), you must complete the corresponding ELDT course. Speak with the Kansas DOR to confirm your specific situation.
