Quick answer: ELDT in Utah costs $20 per course at DLA Academy — FMCSA-approved, online, completed in under 2 hours, and auto-submitted to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry within 24 hours. Utah Driver License Division (Utah DLD) verifies completion through the federal TPR before testing. Required only for first-time CDL applicants and endorsement-adds after February 7, 2022.

What It Costs and Where to Start in Utah

Every FMCSA-approved ELDT theory course is $20, online, and finished in under 2 hours. Completion is filed to the federal Training Provider Registry within 24 hours.

Not sure which one?

  • I already have a CDL and want to add an endorsement — you only need the endorsement course: Hazmat, Passenger, or School Bus, $20 each. Skip CDL-A and CDL-B entirely.
  • I'm brand new and have no CDL — start with CDL-A or CDL-B theory, then complete behind-the-wheel training locally. Theory alone does not get you licensed.
  • I want all three endorsements — the 3-endorsement bundle is $50 instead of $60 separately.
  • What's the cheapest way to do everything? — bundles are the floor: $50 for H+P+S, or $30 for either CDL theory course paired with permit prep. Adding Hazmat all-in, including the federal TSA background check and your state's endorsement fee, typically runs $110–$150.
  • Tanker (N) or Doubles/Triples (T)? — neither has an ELDT requirement. The federal rule covers Class A, Class B, the B-to-A upgrade, and Hazmat, Passenger and School Bus only. Both are knowledge-test only at your state DMV: Tanker Test Prep — $15, or Hazmat & Tanker Complete — $45 if you need the Hazmat ELDT too.
Getting a CDL in Utah means working with the Utah Driver License Division (Utah DLD). DLA Academy is an FMCSA-approved training provider that delivers the federally-mandated ELDT (Entry-Level Driver Training) online — courses are listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry and auto-submitted within 24 hours of completion. Whether you're adding an endorsement (Hazmat, Passenger, School Bus) or getting your Class A or Class B license, we've got you covered.
Utah — State-Specific Note

Utah CDLs are issued by Utah Driver License Division (Utah DLD).

Utah CDL Requirements — Quick Reference

To get any Commercial Driver's License in Utah you'll work through Utah Driver License Division (Utah DLD). Federal ELDT requirements apply across all 49 states — DLA Academy's online theory courses satisfy the ELDT mandate, and behind-the-wheel training (where required for CDL A or CDL B) must be completed locally at an FMCSA-registered BTW provider.

For Hazmat endorsements, Utah uses the standard IDEMIA TSA enrollment process — schedule your fingerprinting through Universal Enroll.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What ELDT courses does DLA Academy offer for Utah drivers?+
We offer five FMCSA-approved ELDT courses: CDL-A Theory ELDT, CDL-B Theory ELDT, Hazmat ELDT, Passenger ELDT, and School Bus ELDT. Each course is $20 and completes in under 2 hours. We also offer the CDL-A Permit Prep ($15) — a DMV practice-question study tool with 119 questions on general knowledge, air brakes, and combination vehicles. Bundles are available: the CDL A ELDT + Permit Prep Bundle ($30) includes CDL-A Theory ELDT and the CDL Permit Practice Test (saves $5 vs. individual); the CDL B ELDT + Permit Prep Bundle ($30) includes CDL-B Theory ELDT and the CDL Permit Practice Test (saves $5 vs. individual); the 3-Endorsement Bundle ($50) includes Hazmat, Passenger, and School Bus ELDT (saves $10 vs. individual); and the Hazmat + DMV Test Prep Bundle ($30) pairs Hazmat ELDT with Permit Prep (saves $5).
Who needs ELDT to get a CDL in Utah?+
Anyone applying for a CDL (Class A, B, or C) or a new endorsement (H, P, or S) after February 7, 2022 must complete FMCSA-approved ELDT. If you got your CDL before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered and don't need retroactive ELDT — but you still need ELDT if you're upgrading to a different class or adding a new endorsement. Contact the Utah DLD for questions about your specific situation.
What happens after I complete an ELDT course?+
Your completion is automatically submitted to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry (TPR) within 24 hours. The Utah DLD verifies your ELDT status by querying the TPR — you don't need to submit anything yourself. Once verified, you're eligible to apply for your Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP) or take the skills test.
Do I need BTW (behind-the-wheel training) in Utah?+
Yes. ELDT is the theory portion only. You must complete behind-the-wheel training separately at a local FMCSA-registered BTW provider before taking the skills test with the Utah DLD. DLA Academy does not provide BTW — we handle the online ELDT step. Your BTW provider will be a separate business.
How do I get started with DLA Academy?+
Choose the course or bundle you need, enroll online, and start immediately. You can complete your ELDT in under 2 hours. No scheduling, no waiting — just log in and finish at your own pace. Once done, your completion is auto-submitted to the TPR, and you can move forward with the Utah DLD.
