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 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 frequent incorrect use of common STE writing rules. \nCourse outline*\nWe’re committed to providing the highest quality learning experience in all our online workshops. Therefore\, we’ve made the decision to cap all our online workshop session sizes at just five participants\, starting 5 May 2025. \nThis intimate virtual environment fosters richer discussions\, more personalised feedback\, and a greater overall impact on your understanding and application of key technical communication standards like Simplified Technical English. Learn better\, communicate better\, across all our courses. This three-day Online STE Workshop includes interactive training\, exercises\, and a 120-day post-training consultation. \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.\n\n\n\n\nDay 2: Application & Exercises\n\nHow to use the general vocabulary.\nApproved and non-approved words discussion and the rationale behind.\nHow to deal with industry-specific terminology\nHow to use STE for various documentation types.\n\n\n\n\nDay 3: Review\, & Exercises\n\nPractical workshop session for applying STE rules to your own documents\nReview\, edit\, and discuss participants’ own documents to reinforce learning\nHow to implement STE with minimal disruption to on-going production and existing documentation.\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. \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 \n \n\n\n\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\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\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
