Transfer of Training

Abstract

Transfer of training is a concept that is clear and unambiguous. Transfer of training refers to the extent which knowledge, skills, and abilities learned from training programs are generalized or applied to real-world situations. Knowledge and information acquired as a result of training has no value unless it can be applied with some degree of confidence to the real-world situation. Transfer of training is important from a practical perspective in terms of training safety and knowledge, but also recognizes that good training and simulations are cost-effective as long as the knowledge gained in training is relevant to the task being trained and able to be used in live operational settings. This chapter describes the main concepts and theories pertaining to transfer of training with an emphasis on simulation-based training.
