That's why they decided to not mess with Ciri's physiology and whatnot (and the knowledge is gone together with their old experts anyway), and just school her like a normal human, which has still put her above most human fighters, because Kaer Morhen. Yeah, I know in the books the problem was lost knowledge. In the show, the problem was blood - they needed old elven blood that Ciri provided so technically, they had everything to start the process. It allowed both Ciri and Geralt to consider the "Ciri becomes a witcher" idea for real, Ciri to want it and Geralt to decline it because he didn't want her to have a life like his (and, of course, the risk).
Unless they did they own thing again in the show and I don't even know how we can find it out without spoiling the books in case of the difference, eek! :') It's the same thing, I've read somewhere it is revealed near the end of the last book. I suppose in the show it was a good moment to surprise the audience that didn't read the books - I don't know if they could not show him for another season without suspicion and spoilers from press and book readers (on Reddit though, I love that I feel secure as spoilers are marked and hidden). Maybe they'll focus more on his motives in the show, I don't know yet how the books handle it, and his relationship with Ciri, I'm just starting "Time of Contempt".
