The number of years that you will have to train for depends on how long you want to actually pursue Genealogy, and to what level you want to pursue it. There are basic courses which will get you through finding your family, building a family tree, and undertaking more detailed record searches. There are advanced courses which show you how to undertake research into the Medieval and Early Modern period when you're confronting documents in Latin, difficult handwriting known as Palaeography, and also starting to compile more complex family trees. It really depends on how far you want to take it.
