The aim of this phenomenological study is to gain a deeper understanding towards the experience of Turkish EFL teachers and PDU members working at language schools of six separate foundational and four state universities in Ankara, Turkey regarding factors facilitating and hindering teachers’ learning transfer from online teacher professional development (OTPD) programs. A total of 25 participants 20 of whom are EFL teachers and five of whom are PDU members in seven foundational and three state universities in Ankara, Turkey participated in the study through semi-structured interviews. Findings revealed that all the participants agreed on the fact that teachers’ learning transfer from OTPD programs was affected either negatively or positively by the factors which were constructed as training design, work environment and trainee characteristics. Moreover, findings also revealed that the factors for teachers’ learning transfer which are important in traditional PD programs also appeared significant for OTPD programs. Hence, these factors need consideration while designing OTPD programs so as to increase the chance of teachers’ learning transfer and accordingly students’ learning.
