You will be examined concerning your Torah-observance, piety, and specifically your expertise in the Shulchan Arukh (Code of Jewish Law). Depending on how much you already know and how quickly you learn, this can take anything from six months to several years.

You have to attend rabbinical school and spend time in Israel.
There are many Jewish scholars who are authorized by the many Jewish courts to teach and ordain Rabbis.

Obviously if a person is looking to be a legitimate Jewish Rabbi by the code of Jewish law this excludes reform/conservative/reconstructionist/progressive "Judaism" - so then there is a full spectrum curriculum to be studied intensely and be tested on the code of Jewish law. Programs range from 1 yr study to 7 yrs of studying - obviously depending on your prior background/ current knowledge...it also depends on why a person would be studying... For the knowledge, for the degree, or for the practice... If you want listed institutions and general information about this, feel free to inquire.

If someone wants to become a more liberal Jewish Rabbi, such as a Conservative, Reform, etc. Rabbi, that requires typically going to a seminary for that organization and graduating as a Rabbi. Then that movement ordains the person and they are fit to become a Rabbi. The education-ordination process takes between 2-6 years depending on the depth of study and particular strain of liberal Judaism chosen.
