I got a A320 TR with Pan Am in Miami USA... There are 2 options 1 with full ground school and the other is a home self study... The price is about 1000USD differnce.
I thought it was a good program for the right person. I have 5000tt and 4000 in jets and I did the home study. I had no problems with oral or the checkride. That being said there was many students there with 250tt who had just come from flight school and many of them were having big problems. They were spending thousands of dollars on extra training because the airplane was just to much for them at their skill level. Some of the 250tt pilots did ok and pass, but most were not doing good.
My sim partner was another airline pilot so I didnt see the problems first hand.
Flying a C172 and having 250tt is not going to prepare you for the airbus... IMHO. But some have done it, but had to spend a lot more money then the people who had EFIS/FMS (glass cockpit) jet time.
Good luck in your search.... fyi Pan Am was the cheapest price of them all.
