Michigan Hazmat ELDT — FAQ
Is DLA Academy's course accepted by Michigan SOS?
Yes — our course is listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry, which Michigan SOS uses to verify ELDT completion. It is accepted statewide in Michigan.
Do I need ELDT even if I already have a Michigan CDL?
Yes. ELDT is required for any CDL driver adding a first-time Hazmat (H) endorsement, regardless of how long you have held your CDL.
How long does the Hazmat ELDT course take?
Most drivers complete it in under 2 hours. There's no time limit — you can pause and resume at any time on any device.
When does my completion get reported to FMCSA?
Automatically within 24 hours of completing the course. Michigan SOS can verify your ELDT status through the FMCSA Training Provider Registry before your knowledge test.
Can I complete ELDT and the TSA background check at the same time?
Yes — and we strongly recommend it. TSA processing takes 2–6 weeks. Starting both simultaneously gets your endorsement significantly faster.
Why does Michigan use the Secretary of State for CDL licensing?
In Michigan, the Secretary of State's office handles all driver licensing including CDLs and endorsements. This is similar to Illinois — not all states use a traditional DMV.
