The ELDT training curriculum consists of theory training (taken either in-classroom or online), and a Behind-the-Wheel driving course (taken in-person through a separate provider). Driver-trainees must complete their theory training and earn a minimum overall score of 80 percent on the theory assessments before they can move on to their in-person driving course with another provider.

This training course will introduce you to the commercial motor vehicle driver training curriculum as well as the basics of being a professional driver. This course does not provide you with a commercial license or endorsement 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. This course is not valid in the state of Washington.

ELP Requirement
Federal regulations require drivers subject to 49 CFR § 391.11(b)(2) to be able to read and speak English sufficiently to meet the Federal English Language Proficiency requirement.
This course is delivered entirely in English.

Before beginning the remaining Class A ELDT curriculum, students must complete the English Language Proficiency for Commercial Drivers module and achieve a score of 100% on the module assessment.

Entry-Level Driver Training and English Language Proficiency are separate Federal requirements. Completing ELDT does not satisfy or replace the Federal ELP requirement. Drivers remain responsible for meeting and maintaining the applicable ELP standard.
