Getting the CFI is mostly about self-study. To get you an idea of what's involved for the practical test, go take a look at the CFI PTS. It can certainly be done at your own pace for fairly cheap at a local 61 school. The tricky part might be to find a 2-year CFI who is available since a lot of them are leaving for the airlines.
