Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What ELDT courses does DLA Academy offer for North Dakota?+

DLA Academy offers five FMCSA-approved ELDT courses: CDL-A Theory ($20), CDL-B Theory ($20), Hazmat ELDT ($20), School Bus ELDT ($20), and Passenger ELDT ($20). CDL-A and CDL-B are required before you take the ND DOT skills test for those license classes. Hazmat, School Bus, and Passenger are required to add those endorsements to your license. We also offer CDL-A Permit Prep ($15), a DMV practice-question study tool for the Commercial Learner's Permit test — it's not ELDT but pairs well with CDL-A Theory ELDT.

How long does it take to complete an ELDT course?+

Each individual ELDT course completes in under 2 hours. You can start and stop as needed — there's no strict time lock. Once you finish, your completion is auto-submitted to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry within 24 hours, and ND DOT can verify your status immediately.

What's the cost of ELDT courses at DLA Academy?+

Individual ELDT courses are $20 each. CDL-A Permit Prep is $15. We also offer three money-saving bundles: the CDL Complete Bundle ($45 — CDL-A Theory + CDL-B Theory + Permit Prep, saves $10), 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 available.

Do I need ELDT if my CDL was issued before February 7, 2022?+

If you hold a CDL issued before February 7, 2022, you are grandfathered — you do not need to complete retroactive ELDT to keep your existing license. However, if you upgrade to a higher class (e.g., Class B to Class A) or add a new endorsement (Hazmat, Passenger, School Bus), you must complete the appropriate ELDT course. Upgrades and new endorsements are not grandfathered.

What do I need to do after completing ELDT with DLA Academy?+

After you complete your ELDT course, DLA Academy auto-submits your completion to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry within 24 hours. The North Dakota Department of Transportation — Driver License Division will verify your ELDT status by checking the Registry when you apply for your CDL or endorsement. You'll also need to schedule your behind-the-wheel training at a local FMCSA-registered BTW provider — DLA Academy provides the theory only. For Hazmat, you'll complete TSA fingerprinting through IDEMIA Universal Enroll after passing the knowledge test.
