摘要：Abstract This article reports on an evaluation of the South African Police Service’s (SAPS) learning programmes, paying particular attention to transfer of learning. The study was framed in Kirkpatrick’s four-level model. The research focused on a case study of a specific programme that is presented in the SAPS curriculum, namely the Station Management Learning Programme (SMLP). Interviews were conducted with eight SMLP facilitators in the Gauteng Police Service. The data were analysed by recording interviewees’ responses. Thematically, the findings revealed that although transference of learning strategies by facilitators takes place, there may be certain developmental areas, such as pre- and post-training assessment, that are not addressed before and after the commencement of training. This article recommends learning strategies that can assist station commanders in implementing the learnt skills and knowledge from the learning programme in their work environment.
