3 months basic training, 3-6 months for platoon and company training.
You need at least 6-9 months training to get an inexperienced infantry soldier. If you want more (paratrooper, intelligence, tank operator or of the kind) it takes an additional 3-6 months.

The only thing you can get with a 1 month training are “support staff” or the ability to handle some of the weapons.
