Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Passenger ELDT cover?+
The Passenger ELDT course covers the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) theory topics required for the P endorsement: passenger vehicle operation, safety protocols, passenger management, and regulatory compliance. There is no behind-the-wheel (BTW) component in this course. You complete theory online, then schedule your P endorsement skills test with the AR DFA.
How much does the Passenger ELDT cost?+
The Passenger ELDT is $20. That's the lowest price for FMCSA-approved training. Other providers typically charge $23–$75 for the same course. If you're pursuing multiple endorsements, we offer a 3-Endorsement Bundle (Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus) for $50 — that saves you $10.
How long does it take to complete?+
Most students finish the Passenger ELDT in under 2 hours. You work at your own pace and can pause and resume whenever you need to. Once you hit submit on the final assessment, your completion is auto-submitted to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry (TPR) within 24 hours.
Do I need ELDT if my CDL was issued before February 7, 2022?+
If you already hold a valid CDL issued before February 7, 2022, you are grandfathered and do not need ELDT. However, if you are upgrading your license (e.g., adding an endorsement like P), you must complete the required ELDT for that endorsement before testing with the AR DFA.
Is DLA Academy FMCSA-approved, and will my completion count in Arkansas?+
Yes. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the Training Provider Registry. Once you complete the Passenger ELDT, your record is auto-submitted to the TPR within 24 hours. You can then apply for your P endorsement test with the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration — Office of Driver Services. The course is accepted in 49 states, including Arkansas.
