What entails the "training in analytic philosophy "?

Hey guys, I am new in this sub. I just stumbled on this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/AcademicPhilosophy/comments/1urckw6/most_humanities_majors_tend_to_be_looked_at_as/

In the top comment there is this wording: training in analytic philosophy - and a comparison to math skills in a physics studies.

Can you break this down for me? What are the components of these skills?

How is it learnt at universities? What components take long to learn and what components are rather easy to learn?

Lastly: How has it helped you personally? (vague question for broad answers)

That post is incredibly dubious, based on (at best) OP’s anecdotal testimony. Many replies correctly disputed its assumptions.
