Woon een 2-daagse workshop bij in Soest om ASD-STE100 te leren

ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English (STE) is een gecontroleerde taal die wordt gebruikt om technische handleidingen zodanig te schrijven dat ze gemakkelijker en beter worden begrepen door een internationaal publiek, waardoor de veiligheid en efficiency worden verbeterd. STE is veelal een officiële vereiste voor onderhoudshandleidingen in de luchtvaart- en defensiebranche, en kan eenvoudig worden toegepast in alle technische branches en daarbuiten.

STE is geen eenvoudige taal die u kunt leren door middel van zelfstudie. Deze door Shufra Consultancy en Triview gezamenlijk georganiseerde cursus biedt cursisten de mogelijkheid om elke afzonderlijke regel te leren en toe te passen in een praktische context. Mevrouw Shumin Chen zal deelnemers leren hoe zij STE op correcte en doeltreffende wijze kunnen toepassen in de praktijk. Ook zullen enkele fouten die regelmatig worden gemaakt in technisch schrijven en het vaak onjuiste gebruik van algemene STE-schrijfregels worden behandeld.

Kwalificaties van de trainer
Mevrouw Chen heeft vele bedrijven ondersteund op het gebied van hun STE- en andere documentatiebehoeften, waar mogelijk op basis van normen. Hoewel STE werd ontwikkeld voor de lucht- en ruimtevaartbranche, en in het bijzonder voor onderhoudsdocumentatie voor vliegtuigen, heeft mevrouw Chen gemerkt dat het zeer zinvol is om deze beginselen ook toe te passen in andere branches en soorten documenten. Er zijn weinig of geen wijzigingen in de specificatie nodig om STE aan te passen aan uiteenlopende branches, van machinebouw tot IT, en van auto's tot medische apparatuur.

ASD-STE100 training, Soest, the Netherlands

This two-day professional training course is intended for technical authors to familiarise themselves with the ASD-STE100 controlled language specification through a series of classroom- and workshop-type instruction and interaction. 

Said Ms Shumin Chen, trainer & consultant at Shufra Ltd., "Our trainees come from a wide spectrum of industries ranging from packaging machinery to aircraft ground support equipment (GSE). Although STE was developed for the aerospace industry,  it made a lot of sense to apply the same principles to other industries and types of documents as well. "

The balance between compliance and optimum readability is the primary objective for any technical writing professional who wants to write proficiently in STE.

Lufthansa Systems chose Shufra ASD-STE100 training

Lufthansa Systems FlightNav Inc. Zürich recommends the professional and qualified ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English training provided by Dr. Frans Wijma from Shufra Consultancy.
Lufthansa Systems FlightNav, a provider of one-stop flight navigation services, with more than a hundred customers worldwide, recently engaged the ASD Simplified Technical English training services of Shufra Consultancy.

Correct and easy to understand information is essential to safe flight operations and increasingly, our customer deals with countries where English is at best a second language and the aim is to communicate with aviation professionals globally where language is a facilitator rather than a burden.

Realising the advantages of a trained STE writer over checker tools

Simplified Technical English or ASD-STE100 is an aerospace specification that provides guidelines for creating standardised, unambiguous and accurate documentation. By adopting a standardised writing approach, cost savings of 30% can be expected. 

Course participants see the ASD-STE100 language standard not merely as a cost reduction strategy, but also as a fundamental prerequisite for precise and safe navigation during flight. Shufra’s ASD-STE100 training class has been customised on every occasion to meet our customers’ specific professional requirements, as well as to encourage and mould technical writers’ creativity. 

Our Simplified Technical English training achieves 75% of the benefits and results of an approach that focuses on checker software, bearing in mind that the indiscriminate use of checker software available in the market without proper guidance will do more harm than good.
