I received my A320 training with Aero Lloyd in Germany.
The type rating itself was done in Toulouse at the Airbus Training Center. This course lasted six weeks, not including the base training (traffic circuits in the real aircraft), which we did after we rturned from Toulouse.
The time between the base training and the issue of the new license with the A320 series type rating, was used for some additional ground courses like emergency and rescue training, a technical course and some additional performance course.
Thereafter we received our line training for another four to six weeks to recive at least 100 hrs. block time and a certain amount of sectors. Sorry I can't remeber the exact number of sectors we had to do.
Hope this helps.

Just for the comparison (and the records):
B737NG
15 days ground school (whithout emergency and stuff)
18 days sim (18 sessions à 4 hrs, no... no repetitions
and off days not included)
1 day ZFT
3 days pre line
1.5 months line training (which turned out to be on the lower part of the scale)
I was amazed... Pure luxury TR, isn't it?
