SUMMARY:Europe Online STE Workshop: 2-day Training Course Mar 2020
DESCRIPTION:Write effective user manuals & instructions with Simplified Technical English\n				\nEurope Online STE Workshop \nDates: 9 & 10 March 2020 \nPlan later: Not available \nTime: 09:00 to 17:00 Central European Time [Europe]\nLength of training: 2 days \nCourse fee: 450 EUR** \nCourse registration ends one week before training commences. \nRegister \n\n			\n			\n		\n	  \n**Course fee includes exercises\, learning aids\, certificate of completion\, and 90-day post-training support. \nSummary of Simplified Technical English (STE)\nSimplified Technical English (STE) or ASD-STE100 is a controlled technical English language that is used to write technical manuals in a way that they can be more easily understood by an international audience. STE helps to make translations cheaper and more accurate. Often a formal requirement for aircraft and defence maintenance documentation\, STE can easily be adapted to all technical industries and beyond. Ms. Shumin Chen will teach participants how to correctly and effectively use STE in practice. She will also address some of the mistakes commonly found in technical writing and the frequently incorrect use of common STE writing rules. \nShumin gave us a an all-rounded presentation to Simplified Technical English. Personally\, rule 1.3: To use only approved words with their approved meaning holds the key to successful controlled language implementation. Rules 3.4\, 3.6\, 4.1\, 5.3\, and 5.5 are also among my favourites. The approved verb TO MAKE SURE THAT can come in very handy for technical writers as well. The presentation of STE rules offers quite a detailed overview that includes not only language rules but good\, old technical authoring principles in general. It has been very helpful for us to learn and understand the concept of STE. I have found Shumin to be very competent in STE and will definitely recommend her course! Eric\, Head of Corporate Technical Documentation (CTD)\, Schindler Group. \nSTE Course Outline*\nThis 2-day Europe Online STE Workshop includes interactive training and exercises. \n\nDay 1: Classroom Training\n\nPractical overview of Simplified Technical English\nHow STE helps both native & non-native speakers of English\nBenefits of adopting the STE international writing standard\nWriting rules and how to apply them in practice\nHow to use the general vocabulary.\nApproved and non-approved words discussion and the rationale behind.\n\n\n\n\nDay 2: Application\, Review\, & Exercises\n\nHow to deal with industry-specific terminology\nHow to use STE for various documentation types\nHow to implement STE with minimal disruption to on-going production and existing documentation\nPractical workshop session for applying STE rules to your own documents\nReview\, edit\, and discuss participants’ own documents to reinforce learning\nClassroom presentation of own documents.\n\n\n\n* Shufrans also offers customised ASD-STE100 training solutions tailored to meet your specific requirements. These courses are normally provided at the customer’s premises. \n\n\nThe presentation on rules clarified a lot of things of which I was unaware. I have a much better understanding of how to format lists with colons\, when to use obey vs. comply\, and the differences between notes\, cautions\, and warnings. Moving forward\, I will be able to utilize the ASD-STE rules more effectively to write better documents. Lauren Gelli\, Senior Technical Writer\, Aerotech Inc. \nWho should attend this technical writing workshop?\n\nCompliance managers\nCIO\, COO\, CTO\nCustomer support managers\nDocumentation managers\nEditors\nEngineering managers\nEngineers and SMEs who create documentation\nGraphics specialists\nILS managers\nMaintenance managers\nOperation managers\nProduct managers\nProject managers\nQuality managers\nSoftware research engineers\nTechnical illustrators\nTechnical writers\nTranslation managers\nTranslators.\n\nWhat technical writing outcomes to expect?\nOur interactive training\, exercises and workshop\, will teach participants to standardise content to: \n\nAuthor more efficiently\nCommunicate more effectively with a global audience\nImprove operational safety\nReduce AOG / downtime\nFacilitate modular writing and reuse\nFacilitate teamwork\nFacilitate translation\nMaximise consistency\nOptimise product lifecycle support\nReduce the cost of creating and maintaining technical publications.\n\nASD-STE100 Trainer’s qualifications\nMs. Shumin Chen\, principal trainer & consultant at Shufrans TechDocs received her professional on-the-job training in the field of STE under the tutelage of Dr Frans Wijma\, a linguist and documentation expert. Together as an experienced global team\, they provided their combined knowledge and dedication to benefit customers worldwide. To date\, they have provided training and consultancy services to over 200 companies. Shufrans TechDocs is the only company with such vast experience in providing certified STE training. \nShumin has supported various companies with their STE and other documentation needs\, based on standards where possible. Although STE was developed for the aerospace industry\, more specifically for aircraft maintenance documentation\, she found that it made a lot of sense to apply the same principles to other industries and types of documents as well. Few -if any- changes to the specification are necessary to adapt STE to industrial sectors ranging from machinery to IT\, automotive to medical equipment. \n \n\nDownload the STE training curriculum \n
