JEWS: What is the education and training to be a RABBI ? (regardless of category of Judaism)?

Different smichah courses have very different requirements, syllabi etc. what you study in an orthodox Yeshivah will vary by denomination and sect; it will vary from what you learn ina Conservative or Reform seminary etc. In orthodox, the trainign will generally consist of studying one patrticular set of laws intensively. One smichah I know of takes seven years full time but does the whole Orech Chaim in the Shulkhan Arukh covering prayer, festivals, Shabbos involving tracing the law nad practives form the Torah, Mishnah, Gemorrah through to the commentaries of the Rishonim, then the shulkhan aruch followed by the commentaries of the acharonim with studying the more recent tulings for practical halachah in dealing with the modern world. However this is an extreme, most smichahs are shorter and on a much shorter syllabus. (the shortest smichah programme I know of is at the Chabad Yeshivah in Pretoria, South Africa where Smichah takes only a year full time and follwos a similar syllabus to the one laid out by Zvi in his answer- though they are very selective in whom they allow in in that all the bochrim are required to have been heavily involved in the community with studying in community schools before entering and they are known to be at the required level of knowledge for the abreviated smichah programme)
