Ian,
There is a system in place that allows a Reserve Officer to take the equivalent training over a longer time. It is called MITCEP (I may have the acronym wrong). Basically it breaks Phase 2 and 3 down into 9 parts which are between 2-3 weeks long each. This would then allow a Reservist to take them over many summers, rather than 2 or 3.

Michael (comments wanted from all) from Ian Edwards:
If each Phase is 10 weeks (therefore about 70 days) how the heck is
anyone except a post secondary student or school teacher expected to
find time to take a phase? Will even the various levels of government
allow civil servants that much time off, and if so how can their job be
performed in their absence?
