Two variables of training design i.e. content validity and transfer design were analyzed using various statistical techniques like factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation and multiple regression. Statistical software SPSS ver.22 was used for this purpose. Findings : The transfer design found to be the strongest factor effecting transfer of training with beta value 0.558 followed by perceived content validity with beta value 0.127, both variables were found to have positive and significant impact on transfer of training. These two independent variables explained 41% variance in regression model. Findings of this research revealed that the training design plays a vital role in training and may predict the training transfer significantly. Originality and novelty: Primary data has been collected for this research. The findings of this research will fill the gap in the literature of training transfer in the education sector.

Highlights
Transfer of training (TOT) is the extent to which the skill and knowledge acquired during training is being applied to the workplace [1]
The training and consultancy industry in Pakistan is involved in activities of training and its transfer but it seems that this industry is not considerably aware about the notion of training transfer and it appears that they are just increasing their income and not measuring TOT[13]
First section was about the demographic profile of respondent, in second section there were the items about perceived content validity, and transfer design and the third section was about transfer of training
Summary
Transfer of training (TOT) is the extent to which the skill and knowledge acquired during training is being applied to the workplace [1]. Using hierarchical regression technique author in [8] concluded that transfer design have significant relation with TOT They suggest that if the organizations want to enhance TOT the training should be designed in such a way that it can enable their trainees to retain learning over time and transfer it to their job place. They emphasized that it should be ensured that the training program’s contents are related to the trainee’s job and[3]. Author in [23] found that training design factors significantly explained 65% variance in performance of training transfer
