Depending on the instructor you will get much more information than necessary to actually fly successfully on the line. Drink up though, because it is all very good information. By the end of class you should have a notebook to serve you in future checkrides as your "cheat book."

Its long, 5 weeks if I remember. First week is indoc where you will get into the nuts and bolts of company policy, weather, dispatch procedures, etc. Take a written exam that is open book. Then a nice 2 weeks of systems followed by a written exam. Then off to sim training for 2 weeks followed by a checkride. THEN its off to IOE for a few days. I think in toto, 6 weeks away from home? Maybe a day off or 2 in between.

Ask desertdog and SmiteyB, they just went through the whole new hire training.

You WILL get to know either Ed's dog, or Vic's "ehemm... lets go ahead and take 5 minutes."
