description Aims: The current study aims to evaluate the efficiency of the short-term self and buddy aid training program of the Iranian law enforcement force using Holton’s learning transfer system inventory (LTSI). Materials & Methods: This study was designed as mixed-method research. The population of the quantitative part of the study was NAJA employees, 384 of whom were randomly asked to fill the standardized LTSI questionnaire. The qualitative aspect was conducted using a phenomenological approach to evaluate the semi-structured interviews with 11 experts and authorities of NAJA in medicine using purposive sampling until reaching a point of data saturation. The quantitative analysis was performed using the SPSS software, and the qualitative analysis was performed using Heidegger’s phenomenological philosophy. Findings: The quantitative analysis revealed that the transfer of education was most impacted by the organization-related factors (2.80±0.42), followed by education factors (2.76±0.76), and individual factors (2.42±0.50), respectively. In qualitative data analysis, three major axial codings were identified, including issues related to management, decision-making and planning, issues related to the learners and the organization‘s personnel, and issues related to the current educational system and teachers. Conclusion: According to the present results, it seems that the three factors related to relief education, including management and planning, and learners and teachers, can complementarily ensure the effectiveness of education, so it is necessary to consider these factors in the design and implementation of educational programs.
