Check out www.ontrackaviation.com for the requirements and content of the CRI(ME) course, or you could look at LASORS (but you knew that didn't you Mr Instructor?! 
)
You need 500TT and 30 PIC on multis before you start, which means most don't get to doing it for a while. I would say it's worth it if you know you can find work instructing on a multi or if you want to move toward commercial instruction.
Personally, I'm working on getting the supervisory 'R' removed from my rating first before I do other things - have you got rid of yours yet?

I assume you also want to be able to instruct IFR, by doing a combined course for MEI+IRI, and for that you'll also need 200 hours IFR (or 50 actual IMC, because they count x 4),
For this requirement you are credited ground IFR time on FNPT or higher sim, up to 50 hours.
It may be of interest for you to know that simulated IFR time flown VFR(you do a few hours of that if you do an integrated course before starting with the IFR part) can be counted towards the IFR time requirement, or at least they do in certain countries (not sure UK CAA will accept that time to be counted).
Good luck.

Why do it if it's not fun?

Did mine earlier this year at Leeds Flying School, and started my first multi instructing job a couple of months ago.
Thoroughly enjoying it - and the increase in salary might, one day, pay for the 30 hours multi P1 I had to pay for! I don't have much to add to the replies already, but if there's anything specific you want to know, then just ask.
