Your attributes decide your learning time. So training up the learning 
skills + the advanced ones (Not the skill learning, but the ones that up 
your attributes found in the learning skills branch).

With the Relevations extension being patched today, the requirements for the 
advanced learning skills is dropped one notch to just require the regular 
ones at level 4. So train the basics to level 4, then the advanced to 3-4 
and then do the basics to 5. Then carry on with the advanced if you want 
after. Top it off by do the skill called "Learning" as its more usefull the 
higher attributes you got and the attribute skills shave off more time than 
that one so always do it last.

Most gunnery, ships and command skills make use of perception and willpower 
attributes. However the attribute learning skills (the basic ones), use 
memory and intelligence as primary and secondary attributes, so for a faster 
training, do memory and intelligence first, then perception and willpower. 
When that is done, you need to check the info tab on the advanced attribute 
skills what they make use of as primary and secondary attributes to decide 
what order makes most sense to train them for.

Also if you can afford it plug in some cheap +3 implants to give your 
training time a slight boost.

For me it currently would take around 30ish days to do Battle Cruiser to 5. 
This with the basic attribute skills at 5, the advanced to 4 and the 
learning to 5, and some +4 implants. If you want to play EVE for a long time 
then doing the learning skills will pay off eventhough a slight boring in 
the start where you might rather want other skills to make you better at do 
other things.
