Business Definition for: Transfer Of Training

  • the appropriate and continued application of skills learned during a training course to the working environment. A measure of the transfer of training should form part of any evaluation of training conducted, as it can help demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of a training program. It is normally measured between three to six months after the training course in order to allow trainees time to apply their newly-learned skills in the workplace.
