Public-enrollment locations only

These counts are schools and training sites that are not marked “private enrollment only” in the registry — the ones a regular student can usually contact. Employer-only training sites are still counted on each state page for honesty.

How to use this directory

1. Confirm it's on the TPR

FMCSA only accepts ELDT completion from providers listed in the Training Provider Registry. We start from that official list.

2. Check Class A vs Class B

Filter for the class you need, and look for behind-the-wheel (range and/or public road) if you need skills training — not theory alone.

3. Verify the day you enroll

Provider status can change. Re-check the school on tpr.fmcsa.dot.gov before you pay a deposit.
