ELDT Hazmat Endorsement Information
As of February 7, 2022, drivers applying for an initial CDL, upgrading a current CDL, or obtaining a hazardous materials, passenger, or school bus endorsement will need to complete entry-level driver training. This training includes both theory and behind-the-wheel instruction, with the instruction provided by an entity listed on a Training Provider Registry (TPR), administered by FMCSA.
J. J. Keller offers a variety of training materials for the Hazmat Endorsement. These courses can be used to help satisfy the entry-level driver training (ELDT) theory instruction requirements that must be met to obtain a hazmat (H) endorsement. To satisfy the theory instruction requirements, these courses must be assigned and administered by a school or other entity listed on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's Training Provider Registry (TPR). There is no behind-the-wheel component to this training, and only consists of classroom/theory training for the Endorsement. Our offerings include:
- Entry-Level Driver Training (Hazmat Endorsement) Theory Instruction – Online Courses
- Hazmat Endorsement: Entry-Level Driver Training - Trainer Manual
- Hazmat Endorsement: Entry-Level Driver Training - Student Manual
The driver would have to complete this training before the state driver licensing agency will allow the driver to sit for the written exam. In addition, before getting the endorsement, the driver must undergo a TSA security check.
