Mandated or recommended by key military and commercial specifications\, STE reduces translation costs and serves as a vital upstream grounding layer for automated translation engines and AI workflows. \nLed by Ms. Shumin Chen (Shufrans TechDocs)\, this training guides participants through the correct and effective practical application of STE\, addressing common writing errors and the frequent misapplication of core rules across all technical industries. \nFor enquiries and registration: enquiry@asd-ste100.net \nCourse outline*\nWe are committed to providing the highest quality learning experience across all our online workshops. To ensure richer discussions\, deeper document reviews\, and maximum individual impact\, all online workshop sessions are strictly capped at just five participants. \nThis intimate virtual environment fosters precise feedback and mastery of key technical communication standards like Simplified Technical English. Each three-day online workshop includes interactive training\, hands-on exercises\, and a dedicated 120-day post-training consultation period. \nDay 1: Classroom Training & Foundations \n\n\nPractical overview of Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE100) \n\n\nHow STE ensures absolute clarity for both native and non-native speakers across global networks \n\n\nStrategic risk-mitigation and cost benefits of adopting the STE standard \n\n\nCore writing rules and systematic daily application \n\n\nDay 2: Application & Vocabulary \n\n\nNavigating the general vocabulary dictionary \n\n\nApproved versus unapproved words and the structural rationale behind them \n\n\nHandling industry-specific terminology and specialised nouns safely \n\n\nApplying STE across diverse manuals\, service bulletins\, and operating procedures \n\n\nDay 3: Review\, Implementation\, & Exercises \n\n\nHands-on workshop session applying strict rules to your own corporate materials \n\n\nLive editorial review\, breakdown\, and discussion of participant texts \n\n\nImplementing frameworks with minimal disruption to ongoing production and legacy documentation \n\n\nClassroom presentation and restructuring of participant documents to reinforce mastery \n\n\n*Shufrans also offers customised ASD-STE100 training solutions tailored to meet your specific corporate requirements\, normally delivered on-site at customer premises. \n\n\nWhat customers are saying..\nI was looking forward to the training and was not disappointed. I think that the training was valuable and would recommend that my colleagues take the training either on line or in person. Being able to send a sample document and then working on it together using my new STE skills was very helpful and valuable. Shumin was extremely knowledgeable and gave many practical examples. I hope to be able to make use of the support period post-training. Deborah Tonkin\, Technical Information Engineer\, Komatsu \nWhy select a Simplified Technical English training with Shufrans?\nThe introduction to ASD-STE100 was good and informative for someone like me with zero knowledge of the STE standard before. Rule 6.3 in STE writing summarizes the best of what I can take with me. There was quite a lot from the STE exercises to consume regarding grammar. Nevertheless\, the worksheets were very good and helpful. I gained quite a lot of knowledge from them and they were the best part of this training workshop. Shumin was very professional and sharp as a razor. The best takeaway for me from her workshop is to give more thought to how I build my sentences rather than focussing on specific ‘allowed’ or ‘approved’ words. Jeppe Friis\, Technical Inspector\, Maersk Drilling Maintenance Support \nWho should attend this ASD-STE100 workshop?\n\n\n\nExecutive & Strategy: CIOs\, CTOs\, COOs\, Compliance and Quality Managers\n\n\nDocumentation & Editorial: Documentation Managers\, Editors\, Technical Writers\, Technical Illustrators\, and Graphics Specialists\n\n\nEngineering\, AI & Technical: Engineering Managers\, SMEs\, Software Research Engineers\, AI Integration Specialists\, Prompt Engineers\, and Engineers who create documentation\n\n\nOperations & Support: Maintenance\, ILS\, Operation\, Product\, and Project Managers\, plus Customer Support Managers\n\n\nTraining\, Translation & Content: Translation Managers\, Translators\n\n\n\n\nWhat ASD-STE100 workshop training outcomes to expect?\nOur interactive training\, exercises and workshop\, will teach participants to standardise content to: \n\nEnhanced Communication & Efficiency: Authors will gain the skills to create clear\, consistent\, and easily translatable technical documentation\, facilitating effective communication with a global audience and streamlining the writing process.\nImproved Operational Safety & Reduced Downtime: By mastering STE principles\, teams will produce unambiguous documentation that minimises misunderstandings\, directly contributing to improved operational safety and a reduction in costly AOG/downtime.\nOptimised Lifecycle Support & Cost Reduction: Training will enable modular writing and content reuse\, leading to maximised consistency\, optimised product lifecycle support\, and a significant reduction in the overall 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 180 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\, Shumin 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 industries ranging from machinery to IT\, automotive to medical equipment. \n\n\n  \nDownload the STE training curriculum
