How online ELDT works

ELDT theory vs. behind-the-wheel training

ELDT1's online theory courses. Class A, Class B, Passenger and School Bus applicants subject to ELDT must also complete applicable behind-the-wheel training with an eligible provider. The federal Hazmat ELDT curriculum is theory-only, although other endorsement requirements still apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about our CDL training programs.

Driver
What is CDL training?
CDL (Commercial Driver's License) training helps individuals prepare to safely operate commercial motor vehicles such as trucks and buses.
For drivers subject to the federal Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) requirements, training may include theory instruction and, when applicable, behind-the-wheel (BTW) training.
ELDT1 provides online ELDT theory training, allowing students to complete the required theory portion online at their own pace. Behind-the-wheel training, when required, must be completed separately with an eligible training provider listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry (TPR).
How long does the training program take?
ELDT1's online theory courses are self-paced, so completion time depends on the course and each student's learning pace. You can study online from your computer, tablet, or mobile device and complete the training according to your schedule.
There is no federal minimum number of hours required for the ELDT theory portion. Students must successfully complete the required curriculum and achieve the required passing score before their theory training completion can be reported to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry (TPR).
What are the requirements to enroll?
Enrollment requirements depend on the CDL class or endorsement you are pursuing. You must meet the applicable federal and state requirements for your Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or endorsement.
You can enroll in an ELDT1 online theory course to complete the required ELDT theory training. Additional requirements, such as obtaining a Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP), meeting applicable age requirements, medical qualification, and completing behind-the-wheel training, may apply depending on the type of CDL or endorsement you are seeking.
Does ELDT1 provide behind-the-wheel training?
ELDT1 provides convenient online Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) theory courses for CDL applicants and applicable endorsements. You can complete the required theory training online at your own pace from your computer, tablet, or mobile device.
Our online courses cover the theory portion of ELDT requirements only. Behind-the-wheel (BTW) training is not included. If your CDL or endorsement requires behind-the-wheel training, you must complete that portion separately with an eligible training provider listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry (TPR).
After you successfully complete your ELDT1 online theory course and meet the course requirements, your training completion is electronically reported to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry.
ELDT1 offers online theory training for Class A CDL, Class B CDL, Hazardous Materials (H), Passenger (P), and School Bus (S) endorsements.
Can I complete all ELDT requirements online?
The theory portion can be completed online through ELDT1. Class A, Class B, Passenger and School Bus applicants may also need applicable behind-the-wheel training, which must be completed separately with an eligible provider.
Do you offer job placement assistance?
ELDT1 focuses on providing online ELDT theory training to help students complete the required theory portion of their Entry-Level Driver Training.
We do not guarantee job placement or employment. After completing your training, you may explore employment opportunities directly with trucking companies and other commercial driving employers.
Do you offer flexible payment options?
ELDT1 is committed to making online ELDT theory training convenient and affordable. Course pricing is clearly displayed before enrollment, so you can review the cost before making a purchase.
Available payment methods and options are shown during checkout. Please review the current payment options when enrolling in your ELDT1 online course.
