Military defence standards (MIL-SPEC / MIL-STD) such as MIL-STD-3048\, as well as technical documentation standards like S1000D and ATA iSpec 2200 recommend the use of ASD-STE100. In ASD-STE100\, technical authors are encouraged to keep sentences brief and paragraphs short\, while ensuring the completeness of information. \nOften a formal requirement for aircraft and defence maintenance documentation\, STE can easily be adapted to all technical industries and beyond. Ms. Shumin Chen will show 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. \n  \nEurope Online STE Workshop featuring Congree\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\nA discussion on how machine-aided authoring assistance can ensure automated compliance with STE rules\, based on Issue 7 of the Simplified Technical English specification*\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\nLive demonstration of the Congree STE Checker**\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*Compliance rating  for STE writing in different industries may differ and Congree STE Checker offers scalable solutions that meet various project requirements.  \n**Participants can submit 5 to 10 pages of their existing documents a few days in advance to get a first-hand user experience of how a real-time authoring environment operates in practice. \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  \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. \n\n\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!
