Catechism is a lifelong process. While the basic truths of the Faith can be learned fairly quickly, one can always go deeper. The Catholic Church encourages its members to attend catechism classes at any age and no matter how long one has been a Catholic in order not only to learn, but to help impress these truths upon the soul, encourage and deepen faith and expose other facets to be meditated upon. Frequently, people forget, or things become blurry; catechism keeps one sharp in the knowledge and confidence of the Faith.
For specific catechetical instruction, there are approximate lengths of time depending on the person's understanding, desire to continue, frequency of catechesis and the judgment of the priest on the progress of the instructed. For instance, someone who wishes to become Catholic usually goes through a year of catechetical instruction as they are made aware of the basic truths of the Faith that they may make an uninformed decision as well as increasing their Faith. A child desiring to receive the sacraments of Confession, Communion or Confirmation may receive instruction towards that for several months. Couples wishing to wed usually receive a few months instruction once a week. Catholic school children are required to attend Catholic religion classes throughout their scholastic career in order that they not only know their Faith but its social application. Catechism can also be given to large groups or one on one, thus varying how specific or personal the instruction is.
Basically, a Catholic is always seeking to deepen their Faith. After basic catechism, they are encouraged to supplement what they already know with the countless books written by saints and scholars that expound the Faith.
