Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs the School Bus ELDT course?+
Anyone applying for the S (School Bus) endorsement on a Nevada CDL must complete FMCSA-approved ELDT. This applies whether you're getting a new CDL or upgrading an existing one. Exception: If your CDL was issued before February 7, 2022, you are grandfathered and do not need ELDT. If you're upgrading a pre-2022 CDL to add the S endorsement, you still need the School Bus ELDT.
How much does the School Bus ELDT course cost?+
The School Bus ELDT course is $20. If you need multiple endorsements, we offer a 3-Endorsement Bundle (Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus) for $50—that saves you $10 vs. buying them individually.
How long does it take to complete the course?+
The School Bus ELDT course completes in under 2 hours. You can finish in one sitting or split it across multiple sessions—the course saves your progress.
Does DLA Academy submit my completion to Nevada?+
Yes. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the Training Provider Registry. When you complete the School Bus ELDT, we auto-submit your completion to FMCSA within 24 hours. You'll receive a completion certificate immediately; the NV DMV can verify your training status through FMCSA.
What are Nevada's specific requirements for the S endorsement?+
Nevada's NV DMV requires FMCSA-approved ELDT as the first step. After you complete the online course and pass the NV DMV knowledge test for school bus (which covers school bus operation and safety rules), you'll take the school bus skills test with an examiner. The ELDT course covers the knowledge foundation you need; you must pass the NV DMV written exam and skills test separately.
