Transfer of training through different methods and durations of training from a driving simulator to a task was investigated. In method A the candidates were under strict guidance of the instructor, while in method B the candidates trained more on their own and paid more attention to the integration of the part-tasks. The duration of training was dependant on the performance-level on which the candidate turned over from the simulator to the real tanks. These performance-levels were: the single trial execution of all tasks (low level), having all tasks under control (medium level), and sufficient integration of all part-tasks (high level). From the results it is clear that when the candidates were trained in pairs the mean number of kilometers for the two candidates shows to difference as a function of training method. Although the 'first' candidate needs less kilometers with method B, and 'second' candidate learns more from the 'first' with method A. The number of kilometers on the tank, necessary to pass the final driver's test, is a linear relation as a function of the duration of simulator training.
