Training itself is 6 weeks. That includes ground school and sims. Most people when they ask about training length, that's what they are referring to.
If you want to include IOE as part of training...I would say about 5 weeks between your checkride and starting IOE. Then about two or three trips on IOE. But it's only about 6 weeks in the school house.
