Introduction
Take consideration into whether you want to start a new account or train an in-account alt, depending if you are interested in creating an industrial alt in the future. You cannot train skills simultaneously on the same account between two different characters. If you choose to create an in-account alt and decide you want to go into industry, you'll have to retrain a new account or pay an account transfer fee.
Training a new avatar to fly a Hulk from scratch using this guide will take about 48 days, or 42 days if you use implants. It can be done slightly faster if you're willing to spend two neural remaps.
The requirements are:
Brand new avatar with no training
69,000,000 ISK
Approximately 40,000,000 (40m) ISK for four +3 implants (except for CHA)
Approximately 29,000,000 (29m) ISK for skill books
This is only about 1,000,000 (1m) ISK if you want to fly only a Covetor
Because this can be done within 48 days, you can create a new account via the Buddy Trial (21 days), and add a PLEX to the account (30 days). If the buddy trial was given from your main account, your main will be credited for 30 days of play time.
Preparation
Prepare your new character for training by having these items available:
Implants (+3 Implants)
Ocular Filter - Basic
Cybernetic Subprocessor - Basic
Memory Augmentation - Basic
Neural Boost - Basic
Skillbooks
Cybernetics
Industry
Astrogeology
Mining Barge
Exhumers
Remapping
If you wish to save a couple of days, remap your starting attributes to:
INT: 23
PER: 25
Everything else minimum (17)
This eliminates 2-3 days off the training time and ensures the 48 days maximum training period. This is also a reasonable setup for learning many combat skills. It will leave you with another remapping to use, but if you're certain you will keep this alt for mining only, there's a different option that will further shave off some time (see below).
The Training Plan
Cybernetics I
After training this, plug in the +3 INT/MEM implants
Industry I
Industry II
Industry III
Industry IV
Industry V
This one will take about five days
Science IV
Mining III
Mining IV
Astrogeology I
Astrogeology II
Astrogeology III
Astrogeology IV
This is about 2.5 days of training
No later than this point, plug in your +3 PER/WIL implants
Mining Barge I
Mining Barge II
Mining Barge III
This is 12 days into the training regime
At this point you can fly a Retriever fitted with 2x Strip Miner I and a Survey Scanner II
You can safely train Hull Upgrades II (~60,000 ISK) to fit Expanded Cargohold II modules
Mining Barge IV
Mining Barge V
This is a long one and will take about 8 days
Astrogeology V
This is the longest haul, over 17 days.
At the completion of this skill, you can fly a Covetor, but you're only a day from a Hulk
Spaceship Command IV
Exhumers I
Exhumers II
Exhumers III
And you're ready to get into your Hulk (with Strip Miner I).
Alternative plan
may not be fully working as written becuase of the learning changes but havent checked it but at least its a plan.
send me that buddy invite :P just joking  
Jack of all trades, master of none...
