Vermont CDL Requirements — Quick Reference

To get any Commercial Driver's License in Vermont you'll work through Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (VT DMV). 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, Vermont 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 Vermont drivers?+
We offer five FMCSA-approved ELDT courses: CDL-A Theory ELDT, CDL-B Theory ELDT, Hazmat ELDT, School Bus ELDT, and Passenger ELDT. Each is $20 individually. We also offer the CDL-A Permit Prep ($15), which is a DMV practice-question study tool — not ELDT, but pairs with CDL-A Theory ELDT to prepare you for the Commercial Learner's Permit knowledge test. For bundled discounts, check out the CDL Complete Bundle ($45, saves $10) or the 3-Endorsement Bundle ($50, saves $10).
How long does it take to complete an ELDT course?+
Each individual ELDT course completes in under 2 hours. You can work through the content at your own pace on your computer or mobile device. Once you finish, your completion is auto-submitted to FMCSA's Training Provider Registry within 24 hours, and the VT DMV can verify it immediately.
What are Vermont's specific CDL requirements?+
Vermont requires ELDT completion before you sit for the CDL skills test (road test). If you already held a CDL before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered and don't need retroactive ELDT — but if you're upgrading to a new class or adding an endorsement, ELDT is mandatory. For Hazmat, you'll also need TSA fingerprinting through IDEMIA Universal Enroll. Contact the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (VT DMV) directly for the most current rules and application steps.
Is DLA Academy's ELDT FMCSA-approved and accepted in Vermont?+
Yes. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the Training Provider Registry. We auto-submit your completion to FMCSA within 24 hours of finishing a course. The Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (VT DMV) queries that registry to verify your ELDT status when you apply for your CDL. You're accepted in Vermont and 48 other states — Washington is excluded.
Who needs ELDT, and who is grandfathered?+
If you obtained your CDL before February 7, 2022, you are grandfathered under federal law and don't need retroactive ELDT. However, if you're upgrading your license class (e.g., from CDL-B to CDL-A) or adding a new endorsement (Hazmat, Passenger, School Bus), you must complete ELDT for that upgrade or endorsement — grandfathering does not cover new endorsements or class upgrades. Check with the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (VT DMV) if you're unsure whether your situation qualifies.
