How much time does it take to become a good coach?

During all my Coach Training Programs, almost everytime, I have atleast one person asking me ‘How much time does it take to become a good coach?” I smile, while I respond in the form of another question. “How much time does it take to be a good father?” How much time does it take to be a good sister?”, “How much time does it take to be a good teacher? Or for that matter, any other plays a crucial role in your life. I personally believe, that becoming a coach is a lifetime journey and takes a lot of effort to climb this mountain and reach the zenith. Had the question been “How much time does it take to do coaching?” my answer would be, “It takes 3-4 days” to learn how to coach with some basic competencies that could help in engaging with others, including active listening, asking questions, Building Rapport.
