Morphology
The noun phrase is directly compositional: 'transfer' (to apply or move) combined with 'training' (learning or instruction) denotes applying learned skills to new contexts. This is a literal, technical combination (with 'of' as a function word) rather than an idiom, and similar formulations exist in other languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will grasp the meaning.
Etymology
Transfer of training paints a simple picture: you move what you learned in one place to another. Think of the training as tools you learned and the transfer as carrying those tools to your job, so it means 'using skills or knowledge learned in one situation in a different but similar situation'.
