  • Thanks for this course. I learned a lot and would have liked to spend more time improving these skills. My takeaway? Simplify and remove whatever is unnecessary.
    TCLoc Master's Student University of Strasbourg
  • I worked with Frans on a project for translation for technical manuals. It was a pleasure to work with him and he was very professional. He responded to our queries quickly and informatively and he was an asset to have on the project, as he has a vast knowledge of technical translation. Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, On Time.

  • I 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.

  • Shumin is a reference in the STE field. As a neophyte, I can hardly give you an advice. I regularly check your post on YouTube and I learn a lot from the videos and articles you post on the Internet. One word–continue. The best lesson I learnt is: Never use a long word where a short one will do. This rule forces the writer to be simple, yet concise. It is the golden rule of STE.

  • My fave STE Rule 3.6 - Active voice, as it is easy to spot and I like to figure out how to transform the sentence from active into passive voice I also liked working with the dictionary and finding and replacing words, I guess that's Rule 1.2. Yes - great information! Definitely an interesting course delivered by Shumin. Simplified Technical English Rules 1.2 and 1.3 were challenging because to always apply the intended meaning of a word and to use it as the approved part of speech and to select the correct words present in the dictionary can be tricky, but it's the activity I liked the most.

  • I have a great pleasure to work with Shumin Chen on a number of complex technical translation projects. She is very talented, efficient and dependable, making sure to meet and exceed the customer's expectations.
    Anouar Koutchoukali Owner, A Propos Vertaalbureau
  • The trainer's delivery was exceptional, making complex material clear and engaging. The masterclass discussions were fast-paced and insightful, reflecting the well-prepared audience. The rewriting workshop was meticulously organized and provided practical application of the principles. Overall, the experience exceeded expectations. The Simplified Technical English Masterclass was highly valuable. It offered directly applicable knowledge, clear presentation, and practical exercises. This transformative course will empower me to create clearer technical documents. I highly recommend it to colleagues."

  • Shumin possesses an in-depth knowledge of the English language and of Simplified Technical English (STE). We covered a lot of ground in the area of STE within a short time!
    Berry Jansen Senior Technical Author, Triview
  • One of my favorite STE writing rules is the use of active voice. This rule is easy to implement when using word document. I like your energy when you teach and when you answer our questions. Thank you and it was a fun, clear course to go through with! All the best to you, Shumin!

  • Shumin is personable and easy to work with, so it was great to work together on aviation management related events during her tenure. She is a good communicator, and a consultative manager who would often involve others in problem solving, team building, and focuses her time on more important activities while providing proper recognition, which I am appreciative of.
