Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Florida School Bus ELDT cost?+
The School Bus ELDT is $20. That's the lowest price you'll find for an FMCSA-approved course — other providers typically charge $23–$75 for the same training. Pay once, take the course whenever you're ready.
How long does it take to complete?+
Most students finish in under 2 hours. You can take it in one sitting or pause and resume whenever you need to. Once you pass, we submit your completion to FMCSA within 24 hours.
What are Florida's School Bus endorsement requirements?+
Florida's FLHSMV requires proof of FMCSA-approved ELDT before you can take the School Bus skills test. You'll also need a valid Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP) and must pass the School Bus knowledge test at an FLHSMV office. DLA's course covers everything required by FMCSA — no behind-the-wheel component is included in this online training.
Is DLA Academy's School Bus ELDT really FMCSA-approved?+
Yes. DLA Academy is listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry. Every School Bus ELDT completion is auto-submitted to the Registry within 24 hours. The FLHSMV and FMCSA both recognize our training.
Do I need ELDT if my CDL is from before February 7, 2022?+
If you already hold a valid CDL issued before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered — no ELDT required. But if you're upgrading from Class B to Class A, adding endorsements like School Bus, or getting your first CDL after the deadline, ELDT is mandatory.
