Commercial ratings are divided into 2 categories: Single and Multi Engine. The requirements listed here apply to both the single AND multi engine ratings, but you will only have to demonstrate them one time. After your Single Engine Commercial rating and go for the Multi Engine rating your examiner will only need you to perform the multi engine tasks of your checkride.

Time to complete this rating usually goes quite quickly since most often the pilot holds an instrument rating and has a good amount of flight experience.
