implementation into practice
Astrid, ich glaube, was hier mit Transfersicherung gemeint ist, ist die Umsetzung/Uebertragbarkeit des Gelernten in die Praxis bzw. auf die reale Arbeitssituation, also vielleicht "implementation into practice"

: I agree and suppose the point here is not to "guarantee" something but to "ensure" that the transfer of whatever will be done properly.But how would you know that it's the transfer of the knowledge provided in a course without any context?

well, Astrid mentions a training course in her description, and as "Transfersicherung" is one of those hip phrases used in HR these days, I assume that it is about the transfer of knowledge!

transfer guarantees
Or "guaranteeing transfers", depending on the form of the other terms in your list.
Zahn has "Transfer" = "transfer" and "Sicherung" = "guaranteeing" (albeit in a currency context, but I think it fits here too)
Zahn has "Transfer" = "transfer" and "Sicherung" = "guaranteeing" (albeit in a currency context, but I think it fits here too)

: "Guaranteeing" sounds so I have the feeling that the point here is not to "guarantee" something but to "ensure" that the transfer of whatever will be done properly. Some context would be extremely helpful to figure that out.

practice oriented
I agree with Andrea but I think "implementation" already implies the idea of "practice" - strikes me as a bit of a pleonasm. Looked at lots of hits on Google, and as usual, it would take a whole English phrase to describe this one word (someone proposed the term "transference" but not sure that is really appropriate). Seems to me that "practice oriented" describes the essence of the concept.

: Before being able to make any definite statements we would have to find out what is to be transferred here. Everything else is pure guessing.

transferability
Seems to me to encapsulate the concept. You could use 'transferability into practice', but (a) the German does not strictly say so (and as we know, German does not usually err on the side of brevity <S>); (b) in English, this already contains an element of redundancy, as the context implies this.

Discussion
Transfersicherung is listed (on its own) in a list of 'things' inclued in a course for employees. It means that it will be insured that the participants will remember all they learned during the course in the long term.
Is there an English term describing just that?
