Frequently Asked Questions
Is Hazmat ELDT required to get my CDL Hazmat endorsement?+
Yes. The FMCSA requires all CDL drivers adding a Hazmat (H) endorsement for the first time to complete Hazmat ELDT theory training with an approved provider listed on the Training Provider Registry before taking the state knowledge test.
How long does Hazmat ELDT take?+
Most drivers complete DLA Academy's Hazmat ELDT in under 2 hours. It is fully self-paced — log in and out as needed from any device. There is no time limit.
What is the difference between the $20 and $35 options?+
Both include the same FMCSA-approved Hazmat ELDT course. The $20 standard option submits your results to the FMCSA TPR within 24 hours. The $35 same-day option submits results the same day you complete — ideal if you need to schedule your DMV test as quickly as possible.
Do I need a TSA background check for a Hazmat endorsement?+
Yes. In addition to ELDT theory, the Hazmat endorsement requires a TSA Security Threat Assessment — background check and fingerprinting through IdentoGO.

Do I need this course if I already have a Hazmat endorsement?+
No. If you held a valid Hazmat endorsement before February 7, 2022, you are exempt. This course is only required for drivers adding the Hazmat endorsement for the first time on or after that date.
