I went to action multi in Groton - I'd highly recommend it. Professional staff who gets you through the checkride with no sweat. Keep in mind though where ever you go, it's 5 hours PIC to teach in make and model, per 61.195(f), not 5 hours total. If you don't have a multi engine rating, you'll end up like I did - 1.1 PIC in the Seneca from the checkride, 3.something non-PIC while I worked on the rating. I gained my multi PIC time in a Seminole for the MEI, and 50 something in a Duchess at a certain school in KFPR Having PIC time in a Seminole and Duchess allows you to teach at almost any part 61 & 141 school. Seneca time would be nice though. I miss driving that bus!
