The transfer component of training evaluation was examined in a study conducted in 1996. ‘Transfer’ is the evidence that what was learned is actually being used on the job for which it was intended. The study, through a survey technique, examined what organisations are doing to evaluate the transfer of training (as described by the Kirkpatrick taxonomy of the four levels of training evaluation). In addition, training and support strategies which are judged to be the most effective in enhancing transfer were identified.
