As the title implies, how do the rules of Quickening a spell (or in this case, the Quicken Spell-Like Ability feat) work with the rules of concentrating to maintain the duration of a spell? Would each concentration check be considered a Swift action, or would the Quicken property only apply to the original casting of the spell? Concentrating is a standard action, so it should be allowed to be Quickened due to it not technically being a spell with a casting time of "one full round or greater" (or something along those lines, by the wording), but it's unclear to me as to how one would go about using the Quicken rules after the spell is first cast.

Concentrating on a spell is a separate action to casting it. So it would still take a standard action each round even if casting it only took a swift, unless specifically stated otherwise in the spell itself.
