Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT)

Since 2022, federal training is required before the skills test for a first Class A.

• ELDT from an FMCSA-registered provider on the Training Provider Registry (TPR) is required before the skills test for a first Class A/B CDL or an upgrade.
• ELDT is also required before taking the Hazmat (H) endorsement knowledge test.
• Pick a provider listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry; they report your completion to FMCSA.
• ELDT is a training requirement - it does not replace the state knowledge and skills tests.
