The times stay consistent, based on how your attributes are mapped and implants, and the 'x' modifier that applies to the skill.

The SP to earn a skill level is constant.

Level 1 (rank 1) Requires - 250 SP
Level 2 (rank 1) Requires - 1,164 SP
Level 3 (rank 1) Requires - 6,586 SP
Level 4 (rank 1) Requires - 37,255 SP
Level 5 (rank 1) Requires - 210,745 SP
TOTAL = (rank 1) Requires - 256,000 SP

A Rank 2 skill requires 2x as much SP. Rank 5 skills require 5x as much SP.

Medium Hybrid Turrets is a rank 3 skill. Moving from level 4 to level 5 requires 210,745 * 3 = 632,235 SP.

The SP you earn per hour is dependent on your attributes.

SP per minute = Primary Attribute + 0.5 * Secondary Attribute. Multiply this by 60 to give you SP / hour (which is how its normally displayed).

If you have 17 Precep and 17 Will you will train at a very slow 1530 SP / hr, and it will take you a long time to earn the 632,235 SP to reach the Medium Hybrid V (632,235 / 1530 = 400+hrs). You can remap and put your "bonus attribute points" in Precep (+10) and Will (+4), and then plug in +5 Precep and Will implants to have a 32 Precep and 26 Willpower, at which point you will train at the max rate of 2700 SP / hr. At that rate, it will take you 234 hrs, or just under 10 days.

Use your remaps wisely, as you can only remap once per year (unless you have some bonus remaps). It is best to focus the majority of your skill training... Remap to Int-Mem to optimally train most Support Skills. Remap Precep-Will to optimally train for most Weapon and Spaceship Command Skills. Plug in attribute implants to improve your training too. If you live dangerously (and get podded regularly), only plug in the 2 implants relevant to your current skill in training.
