Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT)
About the ELDT Regulations FMCSA's Entry Level Driver Training (ELDT) regulations set the baseline for training requirements for entry-level drivers. This applies to those seeking to:
-
Obtain a Class A or Class B CDL for the first time;
-
upgrade an existing Class B CDL to a Class A CDL; or
-
Obtain a school buss (S), passenger (P), or hazardous materials (H) endorsement for the first time.The ELDT regulations are not retroactive; individuals who were issued a CDL or endorsement.
-
If an applicant who obtained a CLP prior to February 7, 2022, and obtains a CDL before the CLP or renewed CLP expires, the applicant is not subject to the ELDT requirements. Any individual who meets one fo the exceptions for taking a skills test in 49 CFR Part 383 (https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/title49/part/383) is also exempt from the ELDT requirements. About the Training Provider Registry The FMCSA Training Provider Registry retains a record of which CDL applicants have completed the new training and certification process outlined in the Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) regulations. For more information about the ELDT regulations and the Training Provider registry, visit https://tpr.fmcsa.dot.gov. The ELDT regulations and the Training Provider Registry were mandated under the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). The ELDT final rule was based, in part, on consensus recommendations from the Agency's Entry-Level Driver Training Advisory Committee (ELDTAC), a negotiated rule making committee that held a series of meetings in 2015.
