Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs School Bus ELDT in Connecticut?+
Any driver applying for a new School Bus (S) endorsement must complete FMCSA-approved ELDT before taking the CT DMV skills test. If your CDL was issued before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered out of ELDT. If you're upgrading from Class B to Class A, or adding an endorsement, you need ELDT for the new endorsement.
How long does the School Bus ELDT course take?+
The course completes in under 2 hours. You can finish it in one sitting or spread it across multiple sessions — there's no time limit or expiration while you're working through the material.
What does the Connecticut DMV require for School Bus endorsement?+
The CT DMV requires you to pass FMCSA-approved ELDT, then pass the School Bus knowledge test and the CDL skills test. You'll also need a valid Medical Examiner's Certificate and meet the CT DMV's vision and medical standards. Contact the CT DMV directly for current requirements and testing locations.
Is the School Bus ELDT course FMCSA-approved and auto-submitted to the Training Provider Registry?+
Yes. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the Training Provider Registry. Your completion is automatically submitted to FMCSA within 24 hours. The CT DMV can verify your training instantly once it's submitted.
How much does the School Bus ELDT cost?+
The School Bus ELDT course is $20. That's the lowest price among FMCSA-approved providers — most competitors charge $23–$75 for the same training. If you're also getting a Hazmat endorsement, we offer a 3-Endorsement Bundle (Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus) for $50, saving you $10.
