ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English training workshop in Pune, India

On 29 - 30 April 2015, Shufra Consultancy in partnership with Metapercept Information Solutions & Consulting will jointly organise a shared ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English training and workshop session in Pune, India.

STE is not an easy language to learn by self-study. This open training class will provide trainees with a great opportunity to learn and then apply each individual rule in a practical context. Ms Shumin Chen, principal trainer and consultant at Shufra. will explain not only what the rule says, but also why it is useful, and how best to apply it.

Originating from the aviation and defence industries, where its use is often mandatory, the ASD-STE100 specification is widely used for all types of documents in a broad range of industries, such as automotive, machinery, IT, electronics, maritime and medical equipment. 

STE standardises vocabulary, grammar and style, while letting companies control their specific terminology (Technical Names). Benefits of using STE include:

  • Compliance with a regulated and well-established standard
  • Improved efficiency
  • Improved readability
  • Improved consistency
  • More efficient and effective training
  • Less downtime
  • Improved safety
  • Suitable for global use
  • Easier to translate
Writers, editors and other users will need training to start writing in STE. The training comprises explanation of the rules and vocabulary, exercises and tests, as well as writing and editing workshop, dealing with your own documents where possible. 

To learn more about the relevant training outcome of this widely applied controlled language standard or to register, please contact us at info@metapercept.com for customers based in India.

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.

**This offer is valid only for technical companies, not for agencies. Files should be sent from a corporate e-mail account. Your data will remain confidential and will not be shared with third parties. Shufra Ltd. reserves the right to decline the evaluation at its discretion.
