If you plan to operate a commercial vehicle that transports passengers, you are required to complete Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) as mandated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).

We’re here to help you meet those requirements with flexible, online Passenger Endorsement ELDT training that fits your schedule and gets you road ready. With our course, you’ll:

• Fulfill FMCSA ELDT Passenger Endorsement THEORY requirements
• Learn essential safety protocols for transporting passengers
• Complete the required theory curriculum at your own pace

Whether you’re driving a school bus, shuttle, or motorcoach make sure you’re certified, confident, and compliant.

As an approved Training Provider, Smart Horizons offers ELDT courses that align with federal requirements, ensuring compliance and seamless reporting to the Training Provider Registry (TPR).

Online curriculum tracks and individual lessons are also available without TPR reporting.

Enhance your career!
