The SFQC itself is the same length, more or less.
IIRC, for 18As, Bs, and Cs, it was around six months long. Ds and Es were longer.
The 18Es no longer get the IMC training, and the Ds are still in the long course.
The language training and SERE was added to the pipeline rather than expecting the guys to learn it after arriving on a Team. Depending on the language, the total pipeline (after arriving for the SFQC) is currently somewhere between eight and sixteen months, depending on the MOS.
IIRC, the current pipeline length is on one of the SWCS or Recruiting websites linked in the stickies.
Hope that helps.
