You can get the average wing-leveling quadcopter under basic control and stop being a threat to people around you in a flying season, which would be around one year. At the end you'll be pretty decent.
It takes a few seasons to get to good enough to fly them upside down and drive them through targets [youtube.com].
Three years of training may be reasonable if they want to graduate top notch flyers.
