שלום וברכה!
. . . במענה לשאלותיו: כל אחד שייך לעבודת התפלה אלא שהחילוק בכמות ואיכות – ויעשה בזה כהוראת המשפיע שי'.
באם הנהלת הישיבה מסכימה נכונה הסברא שילמוד (במסגרת תו"ת דכחב"ד) ע"מ לקבל סמיכה.

Shalom u'Vrachah!
... In response to your questions: Everyone is connected to the service of prayer; however, there are differences in quantity and quality—and one should act according to the guidance of the mashpia.
If the yeshiva administration agrees, it is reasonable to study (within the framework of Tomchei Temimim Chabad) with the goal of receiving semicha.
Summary
The Rebbe teaches that each person has a role in prayer service and should follow their mashpia's direction. Pursuing semicha studies in yeshiva is appropriate when approved by the administration and done within the established framework.
