In terms of really knowing C/C++, I'd consider that to be an optimistic timeframe, though this definitely depends on how much time you, the teacher, and your students are willing to commit towards the end goal of teaching whatever, what projects you'll have them go through, as well as their prior experiences.

I can attest to this. I started learning C++ at the beginning of this year in order to program the robot, due to the lack of any other programmers. I have had experience with various languages throughout my life, but never really stuck with one.

I quickly learned enough to program our drive train and all, and I feel confident that I have the ability to program most anything my team could need. But I still find myself frustrated by the fact that I don't really KNOW C++. I use C++ to control the robot, but I don't fully understand how C++ works, and would likely find myself unable to write any kind of non-robot program without the assistance of google.
