Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the School Bus ELDT and who needs it?+
The School Bus ELDT is an online theory course required by the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (LA OMV) before you can take the CDL skills test for a School Bus (S) endorsement. If you already hold a CDL issued before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered in and don't need ELDT. But if you're upgrading from a regular CDL to add the S endorsement, you must complete FMCSA-approved ELDT first.
How long does the School Bus ELDT take to complete?+
The entire course completes in under 2 hours. You can do it on your own schedule, pause and resume anytime, and take it on any device. Once finished, your completion certificate is ready to print or download immediately.
How much does it cost?+
DLA Academy's School Bus ELDT is $20 — the lowest price for an FMCSA-approved course. Other providers typically charge $23–$75 for the same training. If you're getting multiple endorsements, the 3-Endorsement Bundle (Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus) is $50 and saves you $10.
Is the course FMCSA-approved and will it be submitted to the Training Provider Registry?+
Yes. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the Training Provider Registry. Your School Bus ELDT completion is automatically submitted to FMCSA within 24 hours. You don't need to file anything yourself — we handle the paperwork.
What do I need to do after completing the School Bus ELDT in Louisiana?+
After you complete the course, print or download your certificate. Schedule your CDL skills test with the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (LA OMV). Bring your ELDT certificate to the test site. You'll need to pass the S endorsement written test and the practical driving test to get your S endorsement added to your CDL. Behind-the-wheel training is required separately through a local CDL training provider.
