Attend a 2-day workshop in Dubai to master the ASD-STE100 specification

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. STE increasingly is a formal requirement for aircraft and defence maintenance documentation.

Dr Frans Wijma will teach participants how to correctly and effectively use STE in practice. He 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.

**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.

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.
