I don't know what the VFR check-ride entails, but it'd just be a slightly easier ride than the 135 IFR ride, which by all accounts is an equivelant ATP style ride. Just think of it as a combined commercial/instrument ride.
You'll get a lot of ground in the companies Ops Specs, basically the specific rules your company has been authorized by the FAA to follow. Each company is different in these regards, although there at obviously a lot of similarities in most. Then of course the standards you'd see on any check-ride with W&B's, performance charts, MEL's, Sectional/Low-enroute navigation, etc... Usually for us it was a 2-3hr ground, and 1.5-2hr flight.
I don't know under VFR if you have to do the 6-month ride, but IFR you do.
