FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the course in English or Spanish?

The questions are in English, as on the real test. Translations, explanations, the study guide and the glossary are in Spanish.

Is this ELDT?

No. Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) is required for certain first-time CDLs and must come from a provider listed with FMCSA. This course prepares students for the English-only knowledge tests.

Does it guarantee a pass?

No one can guarantee that. Individual purchases come with a 7-day money-back guarantee.

Which tests does it cover?

General Knowledge, Air Brakes and Combination Vehicles. It does not cover the Texas commercial rules section of the manual or the endorsements (hazardous materials, tank, passenger, school bus, and double/triple trailers).

How do students get access?

After purchase you receive a private access page. Schools share it with their enrolled students during the license year.

Is it affiliated with Texas DPS?

No. Pasa tu CDL is an independent course by Tesla Market Insight, S.A. de C.V.
