Narrative:
I was acting as a flight instructor taking off from slc. We were cleared to 6;500 MSL via the barn transition. An A320 performed a missed approach and was in very close proximity to the aircraft to the point I took flight controls and veered the aircraft in the opposite direction. We were flying westbound; the A320 was flying southbound above our altitude. However; the A320 was in such close proximity I could feel the vibrations from the turbofans; and I could clearly read the livery of the aircraft. It was way too close for comfort. I advised ATC immediately that I had the aircraft in sight; he proceeded to tell me to continue on the barn transition and there was no further action past that.
