Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs the Passenger ELDT?+
You need Passenger ELDT if you're getting a CDL with a P endorsement for the first time on or after February 7, 2022. If your CDL was issued before that date, you're grandfathered and don't need ELDT. Upgrades to an existing CDL—even if the original was before Feb 7, 2022—still require ELDT for any new endorsement.
How long does the Passenger ELDT take to complete?+
The course completes in under 2 hours. You can finish it in one session or spread it across multiple days—there's no time lock between modules.
What are Connecticut's Passenger endorsement requirements?+
You must complete FMCSA-approved Passenger ELDT, pass the CT DMV written knowledge test, and pass the CDL skills test (pre-trip, basic control, and road test). The CT DMV administers all testing. You'll also need a valid Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP) before taking the skills test.
Is DLA Academy's Passenger ELDT FMCSA-approved and submitted to the Training Provider Registry?+
Yes. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the Training Provider Registry. Your completion is auto-submitted to FMCSA within 24 hours of finishing the course. You'll receive a completion certificate immediately and can present it to the CT DMV.
How much does the Passenger ELDT cost?+
The Passenger ELDT is $20. Other providers typically charge $23–$75 for the same course. DLA Academy offers the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved option. If you also need Hazmat and School Bus endorsements, the 3-Endorsement Bundle (all three courses) is $50 and saves you $10.
