I guess that it all depends on the expectations. If the original poster is hoping to start using Blender and be able to render Poser figures in a few days than that expectation is wrong. From experience, both personal and from watching people I taught how to use Blender, I would budget about three to six months before being able to render anything of value.

It all depends on previous knowledge. If you have experience iin something like modo or Maya then Blender will be fairly easy. If your background is in Poser alone then three to six months is fairly realistic. In fact it's pretty optimistic.

Cheers.
