They have to finish all of the discussions, understand the baptismal covenant and pass the baptismal interview. The process can take as long as the investigator feels that they need. I understand they need to take all the discussions and have an interview. what I want to know is when are the missionaries trained to ask for a commitment to be baptized? When I started my mission it was the 2nd discussion but it later became encouraged to ask for a baptismal commitment during the 1st discussion.

I am from the old missionary discussions generation as well, but Preach my Gospel still lists the baptismal covenant in the 2nd lesson: https://www.lds.org/manual/preach-my-gospel-a-guide-to-missionary-service/lesson-2-the-plan-of-salvation?lang=eng
