Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the School Bus ELDT cost?+

School Bus ELDT is $20. That's the lowest price available from an FMCSA-approved provider. If you're also getting Hazmat or Passenger endorsements, the 3-Endorsement Bundle (Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus) is $50—saving you $10 versus buying courses separately.

How long does it take to complete?+

The School Bus ELDT completes in under 2 hours. Most people finish it in a single session, then schedule their skills test with the Mass RMV shortly after.

What are Massachusetts' requirements for the S endorsement?+

Massachusetts requires FMCSA-approved ELDT completion before you sit for the School Bus skills test. The Mass RMV administers the test at their approved testing locations. You'll need a valid Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP) and a passing score on the School Bus knowledge test before attempting skills.

Is DLA Academy's School Bus ELDT really FMCSA-approved?+

Yes. DLA Academy is listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry. Your completion certificate is auto-submitted to the TPR within 24 hours. The Mass RMV will see your training record when you apply for the skills test.

Who needs the School Bus ELDT?+

Anyone applying for a School Bus endorsement on or after February 7, 2022 must complete FMCSA-approved ELDT first. If you already had a CDL issued before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered and don't need ELDT. But if you're adding the S endorsement to an existing CDL, you still need to complete it.
