As long as you inform your DPE beforehand there is no formal CFAR that requires you to take a checkride from the left seat.
So you take your CPL SE ride a week or so before your initial CFI flying right seat.
Tell the DPE you’ll do your CFI next and if he or she minds you talk through the maneuvers as if it were your CFI ride.
Ask them after the ride if in their opinion you would have passed a CFI ride or not.
Take notes during the debrief and work on those items. If there are any.
I’ve personally done 5-6 combined CPL/CFI’s and they’re a lot of fun to do.
Needless to say you need to ace your CPL ride.
It’s intense make no mistake about it.

Or shotgun over three sub forums.

Are you using the combined CPL/CFI syllabus from ASA2FLY?
