This paper deals with the evaluation of a western training concept used by a German automobile organization for further education in China. As education in China is much more teacher-centered than in Western countries, the question for analysis is whether Chinese learners can adapt their learning style when faced with a learner-centered teaching style. We focused on three main aspects in which western training concepts differ from those used in China: collaborative learning, self-regulated learning and instructional support. Results showed that Chinese learners were able to adapt to a different teaching style, even though they were somewhat overtaxed by self-regulated and collaborative learning. Therefore, instructional support is very important for their learning success. Further on, there are first hints how to improve the training concept considering the cultural differences.
