Bear in mind that you will not only need a CPL but also a mountain course or longlining, preferably both. Or an IR if you're headed that way.
I very highly disagree that you need a mountain course unless you have a job offer post-school that requires it. Longlining could be done if you have extra hours to burn, but I wouldn't pay any more than required to get your CPL.
Any operator worth working for will give you the proper operational training. Don't get suckered in to a bunch of extra endorsements, ratings, etc. unless you're planning to use them.
