CFII in the twin?

Anyone done a CFII course in the multi engine aircraft. One of my students is doing this now and as I did my CFII in a single I am a little lost as to what if anything would be different doing the CFII in a twin comparred to the single. My guess was that single engine approaches would be fair game but when I called an examiner he said that wasn't part of the CFII PTS and so it wouldn't be tested. I personally don't see why it shouldn't. Has anyone done a similar course with an applicant that has already sent the person through the checkride and could give me an idea on what to expect. Thanks.

It's been a while since I signed someone off for a II in a twin. I think the single engine approach is only if they didn't do one on their instrument (or took their MEL before they had their instrument rating). As long as the FAA has seen it once, they don't have to do it again. That said, your student still should be pretty proficent in SE approaches before you sign them off.
 
I did my CFII and MEI in a twin. I flew a Seneca it was a long day for a old guy. The worse part was the temp here was over 100 degrees that day. We flew the CFII ride first then when that was completed we started the MEI portion. I did this three days before my 38th B-day and it was a great to have it all finally done.
 
I thought about doing this....combined CFI-I/MEI.

Unfortunately the school here charges an outrageous price for the multi (240 for a POS old seminole)...so that wont happen.

The economics are hard to work out with all the variables..
 
I figured that since I need multi time for an MEI, I'll do all my training in a multi airplane. Although it may seem like the cost is more, I think I'll benefit from it.
