I do believe that +1 implants require Cybernetics 1, +2s Cyber 2, +3s Cyber 3, etc. However, note: Newbies, after Revelations, will get three +1 implants from the ten-mission chain, and storyline missions will net you more. So it is worthwhile to train cybernetics 1. I mean... I was training to Science IV for tractors, got cyber 1 before I started for about an hour of training, and that knocked a couple hours off science IV, so it was instantly worth it.
IMO, you should get basic learning skills to two (because they don't take much time and still speed things up a lot), and then train in some skills for your profession of choice. For combat characters, I would get salvaging (this makes PILES of money quickly), science IV (for tractors, which speed up looting/salvaging enormously), a few social skills, and basic skills to handle a cruiser. This includes power grid upgrades II, depending on race either hull or shield upgrades IV for hardeners, engineering to III, about 500k SP in some form of combat such as missiles or gunnery, and possibly some I've forgotten. Fortunately, combat specialized characters should start with that 500k in combat, and a good deal of those other skills. Also get a destroyer and the destroyer skill-they make excellent salvage boats.
After you get those basic profession skills (for combat salvaging and cruiser operation), I would then suggest plowing yourself into learning skills full-time.
PS: Advanced skills at X rank do not take much longer than their basic counterparts. As such, it is far quicker to train Eiditic Memory to I (or for that matter all the way to III) than to train Instant Recall to IV. That also means that if/when you can afford them, if you already have a basic learning skill at IV when you start, you should train those advanceds to II while doing those profession skills.
However, remember this: This is a game, and everybody plays their own way.
