Forty-five staffs out of 65 participants who attended three separate training programs were interviewed. Data were gathered through personal interviews using questionnaires specifically designed for these studies. Four relationships were tested by using ANOVA and Pearson Correlation Analysis. The findings from the study showed that the level of transfer of training among the participants was rather high.
