3.Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to enroll in any DLA Academy course. By enrolling, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.

DLA Academy courses are accepted in 49 states. Washington State is currently not served. It is your responsibility to verify that DLA Academy's courses are accepted by your state DMV before enrolling. No refund will be issued if your state does not accept our courses — verify at tpr.fmcsa.dot.gov before purchase.

• Completion certificates and FMCSA TPR submissions are tied to the enrolling student's information
• Any fraudulent completion will result in immediate account termination and may be reported to FMCSA

Course access does not expire. You may access your purchased course content at any time after enrollment, subject to the continued operation of the Thinkific platform and DLA Academy's active status on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry.

6.No Refund Policy

DLA Academy courses are digital products that are delivered immediately upon purchase. Because access to course content is granted instantly, all sales are considered final at the moment of payment. We encourage all students to verify their eligibility, confirm their state accepts DLA Academy's courses at tpr.fmcsa.dot.gov, and review all course details before purchasing.

In the event of a verified technical error caused solely by DLA Academy that prevents you from accessing your purchased content entirely, DLA Academy may, at its sole discretion, provide a course credit or re-enrollment. This is not a guarantee and does not constitute a refund policy.

7.FMCSA Compliance & TPR Submission

DLA Academy is listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry and submits student completions to the TPR in accordance with federal requirements. The following terms apply to TPR submissions:

• Standard submission: Completions are submitted to the FMCSA TPR within 24 hours of passing the final assessment with a minimum score of 80%
• Same-day submission: Available as a paid add-on. Completions are submitted the same calendar day the course is completed during business hours
• DLA Academy is not responsible for delays caused by FMCSA system outages, maintenance windows, or federal processing times
• It is the student's responsibility to verify their completion appears in the TPR at tpr.fmcsa.dot.gov/Check before scheduling DMV testing
• DLA Academy does not guarantee that completion of ELDT theory training will result in issuance of a CDL endorsement — final determination is made by your state DMV

8.User Conduct

By enrolling in any DLA Academy course you agree not to:

• Share your account credentials with any other person
• Allow any other person to complete course content or assessments on your behalf
• Attempt to circumvent course completion requirements or assessment minimums
