Attend a 3-day certified ASD-STE100 workshop in St Petersburg, Russia

ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English (STE) is a controlled language that is used to write technical manuals in such a way that they are more easily and accurately understood by an international audience, thus improving safety and efficiency. 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 teach 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 frequently incorrect use of common STE writing rules.

ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English (STE) compliance check and editing services – get professional advice from the experts**

Given the success of STE and its adaptability, it was over time applied to various document types, and increasingly also in other (mainly technical) industries. Where in the aerospace and defence industries, safety, efficiency and readability are the main considerations for the use of STE, in many other industries, such as machinery, automotive, electronics, IT and medical equipment, another important consideration is to save on translation cost without compromising on translation quality.

With over 30 years of joint experience in technical documentation, we would like to invite you to send us some of your documents for a one-time free evaluation and a sample of the text rewritten in STE.
