The FMCSA’s entry-level driver training (ELDT) rule takes effect February 7, 2022. As of this date, individuals who are applying for their initial CDL, upgrading a current CDL, or getting a passenger or school bus endorsement for the first time must complete specific theory and behind-the-wheel instruction before taking the required skills test.

This training must be provided by a school or entity listed on the FMCSA’s Training Provider Registry (TPR). Learn more about the ELDT requirements.
