Edit--FAA checkride was for initial ATP/type rating in a learjet--L-300 type rating was earned years later.
The CFI SEL add on will renew your CFI for an additional two years. It requires proficiency in teaching all private and commercial maneuvers. If you aren't current flying a small general aviation aircraft then you will probably need five to ten hours of dual preparing for the checkride more or less. Do you also have instrument instructor?
