Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs Passenger ELDT in Hawaii?+
Anyone applying for a new Passenger (P) endorsement must complete FMCSA-approved ELDT first. If you obtained your CDL before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered and don't need ELDT for that license class. But if you're upgrading or adding an endorsement after that date, ELDT is required. Check with Hawaii DOT to confirm your specific situation.
How much does the Passenger ELDT cost?+
Passenger ELDT is $20. That's the lowest price for FMCSA-approved training — other providers typically charge $23–$75. If you're also getting the Hazmat endorsement, consider the 3-Endorsement Bundle (Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus) for $50 total, saving you $10.
How long does it take to complete?+
The Passenger ELDT course completes in under 2 hours. You can finish it in one sitting or come back to it whenever you want — your progress saves automatically.
Is Passenger ELDT FMCSA-approved and auto-submitted?+
Yes. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the official Training Provider Registry. Your completion is auto-submitted to FMCSA TPR within 24 hours. You'll get a completion certificate immediately, and Hawaii DOT can verify your training status through the TPR.
What are Hawaii DOT's requirements after I finish ELDT?+
After completing Passenger ELDT with DLA Academy, you'll have your completion certificate. Take that to Hawaii DOT to schedule your Passenger endorsement skills test. You'll need a valid CDL and a vehicle that meets testing requirements. Hawaii DOT handles all P endorsement licensing steps from there.
