Your training regime is very similar to the one I have fleshed out. Mine is a bit longer and only includes 4 phases as I took the training times from 4e TM 1-1 (I also used the major branch breakouts listed in TM 1-1). Overall, I might like to see the Team phase extended as this is where cadre dynamics will gel and cross-training will take place. In my current regime, a (d6+1) is added to the chosen skill/specialty, this allows the players to use their full complement of calculated training points for background skills up to the time they join the project.
Excerpt from Appendix C of my OCIE Supplement
Project training illustrated below is in addition to the characters previous experience. As described in TM-1-1, Project training is broken into four (4) phases: Basic, Branch, Specialty and Team.
Training durations are based on the training times described in TM-1-1, Basic (3-12 months), Branch (9-12 months), Specialty (4 months) and Team (calculated at 4 months as no specifics are included in TM-1-1) for a range of 20-32 months. This would add 20+1d12 months to the characters age.
Phase I (Basic Project Training) (3-12 months)
Athletics physical training for all project recruits and includes time spent in all phases of MP training; though later phases may or may not be as intense physically as Phase I
Brawl basic hand-to-hand combat maneuvers

Drive (MPV) operation of wheeled Project vehicles
Firearms basic firearms safety and marksmanship (doesnt provide benefit beyond 20% skill)

Melee Weapon (Knife) the basics of self-dense armed with a knife
