Not sure which one?
- I already have a CDL and want to add an endorsement — you only need the endorsement course: Hazmat, Passenger, or School Bus, $20 each. Skip CDL-A and CDL-B entirely.
- I'm brand new and have no CDL — start with CDL-A or CDL-B theory, then complete behind-the-wheel training locally. Theory alone does not get you licensed.
- I want all three endorsements — the 3-endorsement bundle is $50 instead of $60 separately.
- What's the cheapest way to do everything? — bundles are the floor: $50 for H+P+S, or $30 for either CDL theory course paired with permit prep. Adding Hazmat all-in, including the federal TSA background check and your state's endorsement fee, typically runs $110–$150.
- Tanker (N) or Doubles/Triples (T)? — neither has an ELDT requirement. The federal rule covers Class A, Class B, the B-to-A upgrade, and Hazmat, Passenger and School Bus only. Both are knowledge-test only at your state DMV: Tanker Test Prep — $15, or Hazmat & Tanker Complete — $45 if you need the Hazmat ELDT too.

Pass the P Endorsement Knowledge Test at Kansas Department of Revenue — Division of Vehicles (Kansas DOR)
Visit Kansas Department of Revenue — Division of Vehicles (Kansas DOR) to take the Passenger knowledge test. Most states also require a skills test in a passenger vehicle.
Receive Your P Endorsement
Once Kansas DOR has your ELDT completion and test results, the Passenger endorsement is added to your CDL.
What DLA Academy's Passenger ELDT Covers
- Vehicle inspection for passenger transport
- Loading and unloading passengers
- Emergency evacuations
- Railroad-highway grade crossings
- Passenger management and safety
- Anti-lock braking systems
What's on the Kansas Passenger (P) Endorsement Test
After you finish Passenger (P) ELDT, Kansas Department of Revenue — Division of Vehicles (Kansas DOR) still administers its own knowledge test before adding the endorsement to your CDL. The questions come from the Kansas DOR CDL manual, and the core topics are consistent across states:
- Loading and unloading passengers — where passengers may stand or sit, keeping the aisle and stepwell clear, securing the vehicle before anyone boards or exits
- Emergency exits and evacuation — locating and operating every exit, briefing passengers, and deciding when to evacuate versus keep passengers aboard
- Brake-door interlocks — what the interlock does, why it exists, and why it is never a substitute for the parking brake
- Hours of service — the federal limits as they apply to passenger-carrying drivers
- Defensive driving — following distance, railroad crossings, pedestrians, and the stopping distance of a loaded bus
Question counts and passing scores are set by Kansas DOR and vary, so treat the official Kansas DOR CDL manual as authoritative. For a fuller breakdown of the exam, see our Passenger (P) endorsement test guide.
Is there a skills test too?
In most states, yes. Passing the Passenger (P) knowledge test is usually not the last step — Kansas DOR typically also requires an in-vehicle skills test in an actual bus, including an endorsement-specific pre-trip inspection and an on-road drive. Confirm with Kansas Department of Revenue — Division of Vehicles (Kansas DOR) before you schedule.
What does the Passenger (P) endorsement cost in Kansas?
The FMCSA-required ELDT theory is $20 at DLA Academy. On top of that, Kansas DOR charges its own endorsement and testing fees, which it sets and can change — check the current amounts on the official Kansas DOR site. There is no TSA background check for Passenger (P), which is why it costs considerably less than adding Hazmat.
Add the S Endorsement
Drivers adding Passenger often add School Bus too — many districts require both. DLA Academy's School Bus ELDT is $20 — or save by grabbing the 3-endorsement bundle for $50.
