The effects of in-service teacher training on the improvement of educational quality should be considered when rolling out professional development policies. To this end, important information can be gathered by examining the most relevant conditioning factors regarding the likelihood that teachers will successfully transfer learning into teaching practice. Knowledge of the effects of such transfer would also be useful. The aim of the present article is to analyse the existing associations between conditioning factors and the likelihood of transferring knowledge acquired via professional teacher training in non-university education classrooms. The present research was non-experimental and exploratory in nature, employing a survey in order to collect cross-sectional data. A total of 4769 teachers participated. A non-probabilistic convenience sample was recruited due to the accessibility and availability of participants. Obtained data enabled identification of predictive variables pertaining to the likelihood of transferring the knowledge attained through lifelong learning. A logistic regression model was developed to estimate transfer likelihood based on outcomes pertaining to the conditioning factors.
