Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs the School Bus ELDT course?+
Anyone applying for a School Bus (S) endorsement on a Georgia CDL must complete FMCSA-approved ELDT first. If your CDL was issued before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered and don't need ELDT for your current license. But if you're upgrading your license class or adding a new endorsement, you'll need ELDT. Check with GA DDS if you're unsure about your status.
How long does the School Bus ELDT course take?+
The School Bus ELDT course completes in under 2 hours. You can finish it in one sitting or break it up across a few days — there's no time limit. Once you're done, your completion certificate is automatically submitted to FMCSA's Training Provider Registry (TPR) within 24 hours.
What does School Bus ELDT cover?+
School Bus ELDT covers the federal mandate topics: passenger safety, loading and unloading procedures, vehicle inspection, emergency equipment, and route planning specific to school buses. This is theory-only training — you'll need to schedule your skills test (including the behind-the-wheel exam) with a GA DDS-approved testing facility after completing ELDT.
How much does the School Bus ELDT course cost?+
School Bus ELDT is $20. That's the lowest price for FMCSA-approved training — other providers typically charge $23–$75 for the same course. If you're getting multiple endorsements, our 3-Endorsement Bundle (Hazmat, Passenger, and School Bus) is $50 and saves you $10 versus buying them individually.
Is DLA Academy FMCSA-approved, and will my completion count?+
Yes. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the official Training Provider Registry. When you complete School Bus ELDT with us, your certificate is automatically submitted to FMCSA TPR within 24 hours. GA DDS recognizes all TPR-listed providers, so you're all set to schedule your CDL skills test.
