It depends on a lot of things. No actual time limit but there will be a limit on your hours. That’s what matters.
For me, I went to a center and it was under 2 years. People that got there just a few weeks after me were over 3 years. I got lucky and waited like 30 days for a D school and a R school which is rare. Timing is everything. As for hours, on my first two D’s and R’s, I used about 80% of my total hours, 50% on my 3rd and 4th and minimums on my last two. That was pretty standard but everyone will be different depending on how your progressing.
Also, I transferred and each center runs things a little different. At my old center, D and R schools were about 5 months long. Where I am now it’s less than half. The average times aren’t exactly accurate as I think that will include transfers. So I transferred center to center and took 2 months. I’m pretty sure that gets averaged in which is obviously not something a new hire should expect.
