Getting your CDL in Ohio means dealing with the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (Ohio BMV), but your training costs don't have to be a budget buster. DLA Academy offers FMCSA-approved ELDT courses at $20 each — the lowest-priced option on the market. If you're loading up on endorsements or need both theory courses, bundles save you $5 to $10.

Whatever you pick, Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (Ohio BMV) verifies your ELDT completion through the FMCSA Training Provider Registry — DLA Academy auto-submits within 24 hours of completion.

How DLA Academy Compares to Other ELDT Providers

Other FMCSA-approved ELDT providers typically charge $23–$75 per course. DLA Academy is consistently the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved option — same regulatory coverage (Appendix A to Part 380), same auto-submission to the FMCSA TPR, same 49-state acceptance. The difference is the price tag and the user experience: under 2 hours, mobile-friendly, no hidden fees, no upsells during checkout.

What's the same at every approved provider: the curriculum (set by FMCSA), the registration with the federal TPR, and the legal weight of the completion. What's different: pricing, course length, and how aggressive the upsells are.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does ELDT cost at DLA Academy?+
Individual FMCSA-approved ELDT courses are $20 each. That includes CDL-A Theory ELDT, CDL-B Theory ELDT, Hazmat ELDT, Passenger ELDT, and School Bus ELDT. DLA Academy is the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved provider — many competitors charge $23 to $75 per course. If you're getting multiple endorsements or both theory courses, bundles offer genuine discounts: the 3-Endorsement Bundle (Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus) is $50 (saves $10 vs $60 individual), and the CDL Complete Bundle (CDL-A ELDT + CDL-B ELDT + CDL-A Permit Prep) is $45 (saves $10 vs $55 individual).
What's included in the $20 course price?+
The $20 covers the FMCSA-approved ELDT training only — the online theory content you must complete before your CDL skills test. It does NOT include behind-the-wheel (BTW) training, which you'll schedule separately at a local FMCSA-registered provider. It does NOT include the CDL-A Permit Prep study tool ($15 separate, if you want it). It does NOT include the TSA Hazmat fingerprinting fee (if you're doing Hazmat). It does NOT include your Ohio BMV permit or license fee. Those are all separate costs you'll pay directly to the Ohio BMV or other vendors.
How long does ELDT take to complete?+
Each FMCSA-approved ELDT course at DLA Academy completes in under 2 hours. You can knock it out in one sitting on your own schedule — no classroom, no commute.
How much will I spend total to get my CDL in Ohio?+
That depends on what you're getting. Here's a rough breakdown: DLA Academy ELDT ($20–$50 for courses), Ohio BMV permit fee (check the Ohio BMV website for current fee), BTW training at a local provider ($500–$2,000 range, varies by school), Hazmat TSA fingerprinting via IDEMIA ($85–$100, if applicable), Ohio BMV CDL test fee (check the Ohio BMV website), and Ohio BMV CDL license fee. DLA Academy's piece is the cheapest — we handle the theory training so you don't overpay there.
Are there bundle discounts if I need multiple courses?+
Yes. The CDL Complete Bundle is $45 and includes CDL-A Theory ELDT ($20) + CDL-B Theory ELDT ($20) + CDL-A Permit Prep ($15) — that's a $10 savings vs buying all three separately ($55). The 3-Endorsement Bundle is $50 and includes Hazmat ELDT + Passenger ELDT + School Bus ELDT (normally $60 separate) — that's a $10 savings. The Hazmat + DMV Test Prep Bundle is $30 and includes Hazmat ELDT + CDL-A Permit Prep (normally $35 separate) — that's a $5 savings. All bundles are legitimate discounts; none are fleet-only or limited-time.
