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 to prep for the Wisconsin permit knowledge test, add our CDL-A Permit Prep ($15) — or bundle both with CDL-B Theory ELDT in the CDL Complete Bundle for $45 (saves $10 vs. buying individually). No hidden fees; no state surcharges.
How long does the course take to complete?+
CDL-A Theory ELDT completes in under 2 hours. You can finish the entire course in one sitting, or log in and out as needed. Once you complete it, your certificate is sent to FMCSA within 24 hours and posted to the Training Provider Registry.
What are Wisconsin's CDL-A requirements?+
Wisconsin requires all new CDL applicants (issued on or after February 7, 2022) to complete FMCSA-approved ELDT before taking the skills test. You'll need: (1) a valid Wisconsin Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP) — obtained at a WisDOT DMV office after passing the permit knowledge test; (2) completion of DLA Academy's CDL-A Theory ELDT; (3) behind-the-wheel (BTW) training at a separate, FMCSA-registered provider in Wisconsin; (4) the skills test with WisDOT DMV. Drivers with a CDL issued before February 7, 2022, are grandfathered — but any new endorsement (Hazmat, Passenger, School Bus) still requires ELDT.
Is DLA Academy FMCSA-approved and will my completion be reported?+
Yes. DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the Training Provider Registry. When you finish CDL-A Theory ELDT, your completion certificate is automatically submitted to FMCSA within 24 hours. WisDOT DMV verifies your training by checking the TPR — no extra paperwork needed on your end.
Do I need ELDT if I already have a CDL or a learner's permit?+
If you hold a CDL issued before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered and don't need ELDT for that license class. However, if you're upgrading to a higher class (e.g., Class B to Class A) or adding a new endorsement (Hazmat, Passenger, School Bus), ELDT is required. If you hold a CLP but haven't yet taken the skills test, ELDT is mandatory before you can test.
