Frequently Asked Question
I already have my learner’s permit in hand. Do I need to take more tests in this course, or is it just a precursor to take the test I have already passed?
If you already have your CDL learner’s permit in hand, then you have already passed the written permit tests required by your state.
This ELDT course is not another DMV permit test. It is the federally required Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) theory training that must be completed and submitted to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry before you can take your CDL behind-the-wheel skills test (pre-trip, backing, and road test).
You will complete quizzes and a final exam within the course itself, but those are for training completion purposes only and are separate from the DMV permit exams you already passed.
