Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does School Bus ELDT cost?+
School Bus ELDT is $20. That's the lowest price for an FMCSA-approved course. If you're also getting Hazmat or Passenger endorsements, the 3-Endorsement Bundle (Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus) is $50 and saves you $10 versus buying individually.
How long does it take to complete?+
School Bus ELDT completes in under 2 hours. You can finish it in one sitting on your phone, tablet, or computer.
What does the Colorado DMV require for School Bus?+
The CO DMV requires you to complete FMCSA-approved ELDT before you're eligible to take the School Bus skills test. DLA Academy's School Bus ELDT meets that requirement. After you finish the course, your completion is auto-submitted to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry within 24 hours, and the CO DMV can verify it there.
Is the course FMCSA-approved and auto-submitted?+
Yes. DLA Academy is listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry. When you complete School Bus ELDT, your completion is automatically submitted to the Registry within 24 hours. The CO DMV checks the Registry to confirm your ELDT status—you don't need to submit anything yourself.
Who needs School Bus ELDT?+
Anyone applying for a School Bus endorsement (S) needs FMCSA-approved ELDT first. If you got your CDL before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered for your existing license class and endorsements—but any new endorsement (including School Bus) still requires ELDT. If you're upgrading from Class B to Class A, you also need ELDT for the upgrade.
