  • Level: Beginning
  • Time: Self-Paced
  • Exam: 80% Requirement
Class A ELDT
Professional drivers are required to have a higher level of knowledge, experience, skills, and physical abilities than non-professional drivers. These professionals must go through hours of training in order to master the knowledge required to obtain a CDL and become a professional driver.

This course does not provide you with a commercial license at the conclusion. This course satisfies the requirement for the Theory portion of Entry Level Driver Training (ELDT) which is required to gain a first-time CDL.

Note:
In addition to Theory training, students will also be required to complete an in-person Behind-the-Wheel ELDT course with a separate provider in order to fully comply with ELDT requirements. This course is not valid in the state of Washington.
Course overview
This training course meets the curriculum requirements for Class A applicants which pertains to combination vehicles (Group A) as defined in 383.91.(a)(1).

The nation-wide ELDT mandate consists of theory training  and a behind-the-wheel driving course. Driver-trainees must complete their theory training and earn a minimum overall score of 80 percent on the theory assessments before their information is submitted to the FMCSA.
