Apprentice Geisha hopefuls usually begin their training around the ages of 16 - 18 as Hangyoku.
Unless they are the daughters of Geisha or grew up in the Okiya (geisha house), then their training could begin earlier.
To become Maiko (apprentice geisha) training begins around the age of 18 at the position of Minarai. The Minarai stage will last for about a month, and if she studies and progresses well she will be promoted to Maiko.
After living as a Maiko for around 5 years (usually around the age of 22) she will be promoted to a full-fledged Geisha.
