KNOW THE REQUIREMENT
This is not optional. It is a federally required process.
Since February 7, 2022, first-time H endorsement applicants who are subject to ELDT must complete the required theory training with a provider listed on FMCSA’s Training Provider Registry (TPR). The state licensing agency must verify training completion before allowing the applicant to take the H endorsement knowledge test.
Already held H before the rule?
The rule is not retroactive for an H endorsement issued before February 7, 2022. Do not assume you need to purchase ELDT again just to renew.
Not sure which rule applies?
Check FMCSA applicability and your state licensing requirements before enrolling. Training is required where applicable; choosing SHOEBILL ACADEMY is your choice.

Check eligibility
Confirm that ELDT applies to your H endorsement application.
Learn and assess
Complete the required theory curriculum and pass the training assessment.
Confirm the training record
After passing, wait for confirmation that the provider has submitted your completion record to TPR.
Complete state and TSA steps
The state knowledge test and applicable TSA security assessment are separate. Course completion does not issue an endorsement.
Is ELDT the same as the H endorsement?
No. ELDT is a training requirement for covered applicants. The state licensing process, knowledge test and applicable TSA assessment are separate.
Do I need to retrain every time I renew?
Not simply because ELDT exists. The federal rule is not retroactive for an H endorsement issued before February 7, 2022. Other renewal requirements may still apply. Check your state.
Does the course include driving instruction?
This HazMat course is theory only. It does not include behind-the-wheel instruction or government test and application fees.
How much time do I need?
The federal H theory curriculum has no minimum instruction-hour requirement, but all required topics must be covered. Take the time you need to understand the material.
What is the refund policy?
A full refund may be requested within 24 hours after successful payment if no formal final assessment has been submitted. After that, no voluntary refunds are offered. Mandatory legal remedies remain available.
Does completing this course issue my H endorsement?
No. Course completion and TPR reporting do not issue an endorsement. You must also meet the applicable TSA and state licensing requirements.
