ELDT Training in Oklahoma — FMCSA-Registered Online Course

New CDL applicants in Oklahoma, from Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Norman and Broken Arrow, need Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) from a registered provider before Service Oklahoma (Driver License Services) will give them the skills test. Lowest Cost ELDT is on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry, so the OK theory portion is done online for $20 and your Oklahoma record is reported automatically.

How to get your CDL in Oklahoma

  1. Get your CLP from Service Oklahoma (Driver License Services)

    Pass the CDL knowledge tests, plus any endorsement tests, at a OK licensing office.

  2. Complete ELDT theory online

    Finish the Class A or Class B theory course here, $20, at your own pace from anywhere in Oklahoma; bus drivers add the passenger course and school bus drivers both the passenger and school bus courses.

  3. We report it to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry

    Your completion is submitted automatically, usually within minutes; the OK licensing agency checks the registry electronically before your skills test.

  4. Finish behind-the-wheel training in Oklahoma

    Range and public-road training is done in person with one of the registered OK providers listed below, for example in Oklahoma City; it can be a different provider from your theory course.

  5. Pass the CDL skills test in Oklahoma

    Federal rule 49 CFR 383.25 requires you to hold the OK CLP at least 14 days first; then book the pre-trip, basic control and road test with Service Oklahoma (Driver License Services). The CDL fee is $81.50 (Class A, 4 years) or $138 (8 years).

  • Oklahoma moved driver licensing from DPS to Service Oklahoma; CDL knowledge and skills tests are booked through Service Oklahoma locations.
  • Bring proof of ELDT completion if asked, although Service Oklahoma verifies training through the FMCSA registry.

These OK fees and procedures are set by the agency and change without notice; confirm them on the official site before you go. Training costs are separate from Oklahoma fees: see what ELDT costs in 2026.

Hazmat endorsement in Oklahoma

51 of the 106 registered Oklahoma locations are hazmat (H) theory locations.

Oklahoma ELDT questions

Is online ELDT accepted in Oklahoma?
Yes. ELDT is federal, and Service Oklahoma checks the FMCSA Training Provider Registry for your theory completion before it lets you take the CDL skills test.
Who issues CDLs in Oklahoma?
Service Oklahoma handles driver licensing, including Commercial Learner's Permits and Commercial Driver's Licenses. Knowledge tests and skills tests are scheduled through its licensing locations.
Do I need behind-the-wheel training in Oklahoma after online theory?
Yes. ELDT has two parts: theory, which you complete online here, and behind-the-wheel training, which must be completed with a registered provider in a real vehicle before the skills test.
Where can I do behind-the-wheel training in Oklahoma?
With one of the 106 Oklahoma locations on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry, including locations in Oklahoma City, Tulsa and Norman; 68 are registered for Class A training and 80 for Class B. Theory and behind-the-wheel training can come from different registered providers, so you can finish the online theory first and then choose a school. Each school sets its own schedule and pricing, and some registered providers, such as school districts and transit agencies, train only their own drivers, so confirm before you enroll; we do not endorse any of them.
