Getting your CDL in South Dakota means working through the South Dakota Department of Public Safety — Driver Licensing (SD DPS). Here's what FMCSA-approved ELDT training costs at DLA Academy, the lowest-priced option online. Individual courses run $20 each; bundles start at $30 and offer real savings.

South Dakota ELDT Pricing — Every Course, Every Bundle

Every individual FMCSA-approved ELDT course on DLA Academy is $20 flat in South Dakota — no discounts, no surge pricing, no surprise fees. Bundles save money when you're stacking endorsements:

Hazmat ELDT — $20 (H endorsement, theory only)
CDL-A Theory ELDT — $20 (BTW required separately at a local FMCSA-registered provider)
CDL-B Theory ELDT — $20 (BTW required separately)
School Bus ELDT — $20 (S endorsement)
Passenger ELDT — $20 (P endorsement)
CDL-A Permit Prep — $15 (DMV practice questions — not ELDT, paired study aid)
Hazmat ELDT + DMV Test Prep Bundle — $30 (Hazmat ELDT + Hazmat DMV knowledge-test prep, saves $5)
CDL Complete Bundle — $45 (CDL-A ELDT + CDL-B ELDT + CDL-A Permit Prep, saves $10)
3-Endorsement Bundle (H + P + S) — $50 (saves $10 vs. buying each separately)

The Bundle Math — Every Bundle Saves You Money

All three bundles are genuine discounts off buying the components individually. The math:

3-Endorsement Bundle ($50): Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus ELDT. Individual price: $20 × 3 = $60. Saves $10. Worth it if you're adding all three endorsements.
CDL Complete Bundle ($45): CDL-A Theory ELDT + CDL-B Theory ELDT + CDL-A Permit Prep. Individual price: $20 + $20 + $15 = $55. Saves $10. The full Class A journey — both theory courses for the skills test plus 119 DMV practice questions for the permit test.
Hazmat ELDT + DMV Test Prep ($30): Hazmat ELDT plus the Hazmat DMV knowledge-test prep — paired together for the driver studying for both the FMCSA-approved Hazmat ELDT and the state DMV Hazmat knowledge test at once. Saves $5 compared to buying the components individually.

Whatever you pick, South Dakota Department of Public Safety — Driver Licensing (SD DPS) verifies your ELDT completion through the FMCSA Training Provider Registry — DLA Academy auto-submits within 24 hours of completion.

How DLA Academy Compares to Other ELDT Providers

Other FMCSA-approved ELDT providers typically charge $23–$75 per course. DLA Academy is consistently the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved option — same regulatory coverage (Appendix A to Part 380), same auto-submission to the FMCSA TPR, same 49-state acceptance. The difference is the price tag and the user experience: under 2 hours, mobile-friendly, no hidden fees, no upsells during checkout.

What's the same at every approved provider: the curriculum (set by FMCSA), the registration with the federal TPR, and the legal weight of the completion. What's different: pricing, course length, and how aggressive the upsells are.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an ELDT course cost at DLA Academy?+

Individual ELDT courses are $20 each. That includes CDL-A Theory ELDT, CDL-B Theory ELDT, Hazmat ELDT, Passenger ELDT, and School Bus ELDT. Each course completes in under 2 hours and is FMCSA-approved. Most competitors charge $23–$75 per course. DLA Academy is the lowest-priced FMCSA-approved provider.

What bundle options are available, and how much do they cost?+

We offer three bundles with genuine savings: (1) Hazmat + DMV Test Prep Bundle, $30 (saves $5 vs. $35 individual); (2) CDL Complete Bundle, $45 (CDL-A Theory + CDL-B Theory + CDL-A Permit Prep — saves $10 vs. $55 individual); (3) 3-Endorsement Bundle, $50 (Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus — saves $10 vs. $60 individual). Bundles are the way to go if you need multiple courses.

What's NOT included in the DLA Academy price?+

DLA Academy covers online theory ELDT only. You still need to pay for behind-the-wheel (BTW) training at a local FMCSA-registered provider — that's a separate expense. You'll also pay the SD DPS for your CDL skills test, your Class A or B license, and any endorsements. For Hazmat, you'll handle TSA fingerprinting through IDEMIA (separate fee). Permit prep practice questions ($15) are also separate from the theory ELDT unless bundled.

How much does it cost to get a full CDL in South Dakota?+

ELDT is one piece. You'll spend: $20–$45 on DLA Academy's theory courses (depending on which you need), $15 for CDL-A Permit Prep if you want to study for the DMV knowledge test, $200–$600+ on BTW training at a local provider (varies by school), DMV fees to SD DPS for your permit, skills test, and license, and if you're adding Hazmat, the TSA fingerprinting fee through IDEMIA. DLA Academy's courses are the most affordable part of the journey.

Why is DLA Academy's ELDT cheaper than other providers?+

We keep overhead low by operating entirely online. No classroom rent, no instructor travel, no in-person scheduling overhead — those savings flow to you. We're FMCSA-approved and auto-submit to the Training Provider Registry within 24 hours, so you get the same federal credential at the lowest price. Competitors often bundle unnecessary extras or charge inflated rates. DLA Academy is straightforward: $20 per course, period.
