Valid spin endorsement for CFI?

[midlifeflyer]

This endorsement must be given by an instructor who has had the CFI 24 calendar months yadda yadda yadda correct?

Yes.

This is not an endorsement that you are capable of doing spins safely. It's an endorsement about the ability to =teach= them.

The 61.183(i) endorsement is "from an authorized instructor indicating that the [CFI] applicant is competent and possesses instructional proficiency in stall awareness, spin entry, spins, and spin recovery procedures after providing the applicant with flight training in those training areas in an airplane or glider, as appropriate, that is certificated for spins; and

Like other initial CFI requirements it needs to be done by a 24-month CFI.

On another comment, the examiner =may= accept the endorsement as evidence of instructional proficiency, but if the CFI candidate fails the test because of deficiencies in this area, "the examiner must test the person on stall awareness, spin entry, spins, and spin recovery instructional procedures in an airplane or glider, as appropriate..."

I think you are mistaken junior...

It is my understanding that you will only have to demonstrate the spins during the practical portion of the checkride only IF requested to do so by the inspector, I think this is far from a "given". I tried to find the specific far but was unable to locate where it mentions this. I am pretty sure that if you look into this you wil see that it is a call that is up to the specific inspector that is doing your ride.

I will agree with you on this. I read the regulation a bit too fast and typed my response without thinking. You're right, the spins are not a given on the practical, unless you failed the practical the first time due to a lack of spin knowledge.

FAR 61.183 (i)(2) covers what you were referring to.
