Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs the School Bus ELDT in New Jersey?+
Anyone seeking the S endorsement on a New Jersey CDL must complete FMCSA-approved School Bus ELDT before taking the endorsement skills test. Exception: CDLs issued before February 7, 2022 are grandfathered and do not require ELDT. Upgrades to an existing CDL, however, still require the appropriate ELDT course.
How much does the School Bus ELDT cost?+
DLA Academy's School Bus ELDT is $20 — the lowest price for FMCSA-approved training. Other providers often charge $23–$75 for the same course. If you're pursuing multiple endorsements, consider the 3-Endorsement Bundle (Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus) for $50 and save $10.
How long does it take to complete?+
The School Bus ELDT completes in under 2 hours. You can finish in a single sitting or spread it across a few days — the course saves your progress.
Is this FMCSA-approved and will it be submitted to the TPR?+
Yes. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the Training Provider Registry. Your completion is automatically submitted to the FMCSA TPR within 24 hours of finishing the course, with no extra steps on your part.
What do I need to do after finishing the School Bus ELDT?+
After completion, you'll receive your certificate. Bring it to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (NJ MVC) when you apply for the S endorsement. You must also pass the endorsement skills test with a certified examiner. DLA Academy's ELDT training fulfills the federal mandate; passing the skills test is separate.
