Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Passenger ELDT cost?+
DLA Academy's Passenger ELDT is $20. That's the lowest price among FMCSA-approved providers — competitors typically charge $23–$75 for the same course. If you're pursuing multiple endorsements, our 3-Endorsement Bundle (Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus) is $50 and saves you $10 compared to buying them individually.
How long does it take to complete?+
The Passenger ELDT completes in under 2 hours. You can finish it in one sitting or spread it across a few days — it's entirely self-paced online.
What does the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles require for the P endorsement?+
NY DMV requires you to complete FMCSA-approved ELDT for the Passenger endorsement before you can sit for the skills test. DLA Academy's course meets that requirement. After you pass the Passenger ELDT, you'll still need to pass the Passenger knowledge test and the practical driving skills test at an official testing location.
Will DLA Academy submit my completion to FMCSA and NY DMV?+
Yes. We auto-submit your Passenger ELDT completion to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry within 24 hours. NY DMV verifies your ELDT completion by checking the FMCSA registry, so you don't need to do anything else to confirm with them.
Do I need ELDT if I already have a CDL or a regular driver's license?+
If your CDL was issued before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered and don't need ELDT for the license class you originally obtained. However, if you're adding a NEW endorsement (including Passenger), you must complete ELDT for that endorsement, even if your CDL predates the rule. If you don't yet have a CDL, you need ELDT before you can test for any endorsement.
