Usually one first became a page when one was eight years old. As a page, a boy would serve his lord until he became a teenager. When a teenager, a boy would become an esquire. As an esquire the boy would study battle skills and follow a knight to battle. When his training was complete (this was usually when he reached 22 years of age) he was knighted.
The way a person becomes knighted is by honor and choice of the Queen. She then goes through ceremonial knighting by having the person kneel and tapping them on the shoulder with a sword before giving them an insignia.
There were different ways to become a knight.
In some cases, a person of high enough standing could join an order of knights much the same way people today might join fraternal organizations. One order I know of that did not require special military training was the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Another was to join an order that required training, such as the Knights Templar, go through that training, take the appropriate vows, and become a knight.
A person could become a knight without being in an order by undergoing training with a knight as an apprentice, first as a page, then as a squire, and being knighted by a king. This might have been the most common way a person became a knight. It seems to be the one way most remembered today.
Anyone could be knighted by a king, or in some places by certain other members of the nobility, at any time for any reason. This was something that happened to reward valor, but also could reward other things. There is a story about a certain cook being knighted Sir Loin, because he cooked a loin of beef particularly well, hence the name of the cut of meat.
To become a modern day night, the person must do something that the Queen of England feels is a great public contribution. She will then knight the person in a ceremony.
