SUMMARY:Middle East & Africa | Practical ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English Workshops: Ensuring Documentation Compliance
DESCRIPTION:Middle East & Africa Online ASD-STE100 Technical Writing Workshop\n				\nMEA | Online Certified ASD-STE100 Training Workshop Programme \nDates: 2 & 3 November 2026 (Alternative slot: 16 & 17 November 2026) \nTime: 09:00 to 16:00 Gulf Standard Time (GST) \nLength of training: 2 days \nCourse registration ends one week before training commences. \nRegister \n\n			\n			\n		\n	  \nCourse fee includes exercises\, learning aids\, certificate of completion\, and 120 days of post-training support. \nGroup discounts of up to €500 are available when two or more participants register from the same company. An additional €210 fee discount applies when your team also registers for the 🆕 Certified STE Masterclass | Asia Pacific (APAC) Online.. \nFor enquiries and registration\, contact us at enquiry@asd-ste100.net. \nSimplified Technical English (ASD-STE100) is a controlled language designed to make technical manuals clear\, unambiguous\, and easily understood by a global audience. Mandated or recommended by specifications like MIL-STD-3048\, S1000D\, and ATA iSpec 2200\, STE makes translations cheaper and more accurate while ensuring structural completeness. \nIn today’s digital landscape\, STE also serves as the essential upstream grounding layer for automated translation engines\, LLMs\, and RAG pipelines\, preventing syntactic drift and hallucinations. While a formal requirement for aerospace and defence maintenance\, its rigorous principles are easily adapted across all technical industries. Led by Shumin Chen\, this training teaches participants how to apply STE rules correctly in practice\, avoid common writing pitfalls\, and eliminate hidden operational risks. \nThe ASD-STE100 workshop conducted by Shufrans TechDocs made for a very good introduction to STE for new as well as intermediate users of the STE writing standard. The presentation on rules was very clear and I liked the emphasis on the fact that the rules are weighted and how one can use them flexibly. The exercises completed during this training were good and provided real world examples in technical writing in a practical way. I’d very likely recommend this course to someone else. This course is a must for any new technical writers or technical publication employees. Neil Winson\, Technical Writer\, Airbus Helicopters \nMEA Online STE Workshop Course Outline*\nWe are committed to providing the highest quality learning experience across all our online workshops.

This optimises product lifecycle support\, future-proofs documentation against shifting publishing stacks\, and significantly reduces the overall cost of creating and maintaining technical publications. \n\n\nASD-STE100 Trainer’s qualifications\nMs. Shumin Chen\, Principal Trainer and Consultant at Shufrans TechDocs\, received her professional on-the-job training in Simplified Technical English under the tutelage of Dr Frans Wijma\, a renowned linguist and documentation expert. Together as an experienced global team\, they have delivered training and consultancy services to over 200 companies worldwide. Shufrans TechDocs stands as an industry leader with unmatched depth of experience in providing certified STE training. \nShumin has guided numerous organisations through their complex documentation and standardisation needs. Although STE was originally developed for the aerospace industry—specifically for aircraft maintenance manuals—she has successfully demonstrated that its foundational principles provide an essential governance framework across a wide range of technical sectors\, including machinery\, IT\, automotive\, energy\, and medical equipment. \nAs enterprises increasingly deploy automated translation engines\, LLMs\, and AI-assisted workflows\, strict linguistic control is more vital than ever. Because structural clarity and syntactic discipline are universally required\, few\, if any\, changes to the specification are necessary to adapt STE as a reliable upstream grounding layer for modern digital and AI-driven publishing stacks. \n \n\n\nDownload the STE training curriculum

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.
