We also offer commercial training in Multi-Engine Baron.   However, it is almost always less money to get your commercial in a single engine, followed by an Add-On Commercial in a multi-engine.   Some schools don't have a single engine retractable gear airplane and they try to show it's less expensive to do the multi-engine first, followed by the single engine.  That is very seldom true.  We can do the single engine or the multi-engine first at Air Trek North.  Most schools cannot offer this route to your commercial pilot plan.
