Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs the Passenger ELDT in South Carolina?+
Anyone applying for a P endorsement (16+ passenger vehicles) must complete FMCSA-approved ELDT before taking the SC DMV skills test. If you got your CDL before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered in and don't need ELDT. But if you're upgrading or adding the P endorsement after that date, ELDT is required.
How long does the Passenger ELDT take?+
The course completes in under 2 hours. You can finish it in one sitting or come back to it whenever it fits your schedule.
How much does it cost?+
Passenger ELDT is $20. That's the lowest price you'll find for FMCSA-approved Passenger training. Other providers typically charge $23–$75 for the same course.
Will SC DMV accept DLA Academy's completion certificate?+
Yes. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the Training Provider Registry. Your completion is automatically submitted to FMCSA within 24 hours. The SC DMV will see your record and clear you to book your skills test.
What do I need to do about TSA Hazmat fingerprinting if I want the H endorsement?+
Hazmat fingerprinting is handled separately through IDEMIA and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). If you're adding both P and H endorsements, you'll need to complete Passenger ELDT here, then enroll in TSA fingerprinting through IDEMIA. This is independent of your ELDT training.
