How often do the blind-levels increase in a standard no-limit hold’em poker tournament?

I want to enter a live tournament for the first time after playing a few months online. I called the nearest poker room and learned the blinds increase every 20 minutes in their daily shootout tournaments. This seems extremely fast for a live game — how often do blinds usually increase in live poker tournaments?

I also appreciate any insight you can provide into how many orbits one can expect to see with standard level increases, versus the orbits per 20-minute increase. Thanks so much for your assistance.
