What we call “semicha” is just a courtesy. Real “semicha” hasn’t existed for almost 2000 years.

Assuming a Ger is already literate in Hebrew when he convert, it should probably take a few years in a Baal Tsuvah yeshiva to get up to the level of the typical FFB 18 years old coming out of a yeshiva high school.
