STE-koulutusta Helsingissä

ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English (STE), suomeksi: Yksinkertaistettu Tekninen Englanti, on kansainvälinen standardi, joka auttaa tekemään teknisistä asiakirjoista helposti ymmärrettäviä. STE yhdenmukaistaa sanaston, kieliopin ja tyylin ja antaa käyttäjille myös vapauden kontrolloida alansa erikoissanastoa.

ASD-STE100:n käyttö on usein pakollista ilmailu- ja puolustusteollisuuden käyttäjille. Kouluttamiemme yhtiöiden joukossa, joita autoimme saavuttamaan standardin vaatimukset, ovat Patria, BAE Systems, Boeing, Rolls-Royce, EADS ja Eurocopter.

Mitä tulee muiden alojen, kuten esimerkiksi tietotekniikan, koneteollisuuden, lääketieteellisten laitteiden- ja elektroniikkateollisuuden alojen harjoittajiin, STE voidaan helposti mukauttaa vähentämään käännösten kustannusta merkittävästi ja samanaikaisesti parantamaan käännösten laatua. Muutamia kouluttamiamme yhtiöitä näillä aloilla ovat Finn-Power, ABB, Sandvik, Samsung, Microsoft, WatchGuard, Hach ja Huawei.

Shufra on kansainvälisesti johtavassa asemassa STE-koulutuksessa ja konsultoinnissa. Tällä hetkellä tarjoamme 2 päivän pituisen STE-valmennuksen Helsingissä 28. ja 29. tammikuussa 2012. Tämä on avoin valmennus, jossa maksat istumapaikasta ja jossa useat yhtiöt jakavat saman luokkahuoneen. Suurin ryhmäkokomme on 10 henkilöä. Tarjoamme mielellämme myös asiakkaille räätälöityjä ja heidän omissa tiloissaan tapahtuvia tunteja.

STE in a nutshell

Source: The Finnish Technical Communications Society December 2012 Issue

ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English (STE) is a controlled language standard that helps to improve readability and translatability of technical documentation. STE originates from the aerospace and defence industry and is a requirement for many aerospace and defence projects.
