I just got my commercial single with multi add-on for $3285 (Shebles) and my CFI initial for $4150 (www.amfly.com) including all check rides.
I hear there's only a 20% pass rate for CFI so I would really take that training seriously. If you have to take your ride with an FAA Safety Inspector you should spend more than eight days training (referring to Sheble's 8 day CFI). Your instructor has to give the FSDO a call 1st for an FAA Safety Inspector (Free but a harder ride) and if their too busy a normal DPE can be used ($300-500 but an easier ride). Tip: In Florida all the FAA Safety Inspectors are too busy.
Spend 2-3 weeks on CFI training for a solid education.
In general the FAA thinks there are too many unqualified CFIs out there so they-re stepping in.
