Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CDL-A Theory ELDT cost?+

CDL-A Theory ELDT is $20. That's the lowest price for FMCSA-approved training. If you also want DMV practice questions for the CLP knowledge test, the CDL Complete Bundle is $45 and includes CDL-A Theory ELDT, CDL-B Theory ELDT, and CDL-A Permit Prep (119 questions) — a $10 savings versus buying all three separately at $55.

How long does it take to complete?+

CDL-A Theory ELDT completes in under 2 hours. You can finish it in one sitting on your own schedule, anytime that works for you.

What are Vermont's CDL-A requirements?+

Vermont requires FMCSA-approved ELDT before you take the Class A CDL skills test at the VT DMV. If your CDL was issued before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered and don't need retroactive ELDT — but any new endorsement or class upgrade still requires ELDT. After you complete DLA Academy's course, we auto-submit your certificate to FMCSA; the VT DMV verifies it through the Training Provider Registry.

Is it FMCSA-approved and how does submission work?+

Yes. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the Training Provider Registry. Your completion certificate is automatically submitted to FMCSA within 24 hours of finishing the course. The Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles then verifies your training by checking the TPR — no paperwork from you needed.

Do I also need behind-the-wheel training?+

Yes. DLA Academy covers the online theory required by FMCSA. Behind-the-wheel training (BTW) must be completed separately at a local FMCSA-registered provider in Vermont. The VT DMV can point you to registered BTW schools. ELDT and BTW together fulfill the federal mandate before you test for your Class A CDL.
