Abstract: This paper presents the results of a qualitative study focusing on exploring firefighters' experiences of learning and transfer of simulation-based training in official communication. Of particular interest is exploring how firefighters perceive transfer of training among different types of simulations. The data were gathered through semi-structured individual interviews and analysed through qualitative content analysis of the firefighters' perceptions. The results revealed what the firefighters learned during simulation-based training, which characteristics of the training process either promoted or constrained the transfer of training and how the firefighters perceived the lessons learned during training to be usable in their own future work.
