Just a quick search for the Bus, I found:
http://www.premair.com/html/a320.shtml (quote around $11,500)
For Boeing products Alteon seems OK.
http://www.alteontraining.com/index.shtml 737 type around $7,000
One thing to watch out for with airlines that offer type training is that many only offer facilities leases. In other words they contract to a flight school to provide training, thus middle man that adds cost to your training.
Just like anything, shop around. If you have experience on the jet, getting the type should be a no-brainer so I'd shop by price. If on the other hand you had zero jet experience, you may want to shop by course content.
I'll keep looking for info on the BUS, and if anyone has good gouge for [type] contract training, please post it here. This would make a good resource section on the web site.
Thanks

It's not related to the A320, but I know that Pan Am International Flight Academy in Washington Dulles has a reduced price CRJ type rating short course for people that have flown the aircraft within the past 24 months.
It was designed for First Officers that had experience in type and were getting furloughed, but wanted to get the type rating. $5,000 for one week of ground school/CPT, 5 sims and a checkride.
If you are interested in the details, PM me. ~Josh

PAIFA will also offer a "short" course at a reduced rate for the A-320 if you have time in type. I believe you need to have 500 hours in type within the previous X number of months, but don't quote me on that.
