I have a class date towards the end of December. Hopefully I'm still towards the front-ish of the hiring wave. They told us about a year to upgrade, but I wouldn't be surprised if it takes around 2 years to upgrade based on all the posts on here.

What kind of time frame is typical for training? I know the home study is supposedly going to be 14 days, but is it correct that the ground school and sims typically take around 6 weeks?
