S1000D specification training
Gain the skills to create, manage and deliver S1000D-compliant documentation. Start with a 2-hour eLearning introduction, then choose content creation, publishing or AI enablement.
The program is structured so you can implement the specification in your organisation. Each role takes the parts it needs, at the depth it needs.
Develop the skills needed to create structured, S1000D-compliant documentation efficiently: identification and status, information types, references and applicability.
Understand how to manage and maintain S1000D content so it stays accurate and compliant: reviews, change marking, issue control and BREX checks in the CSDB.
Gain insight into the S1000D process so you can oversee technical documentation projects: the data module requirements list, delivery lists and acceptance.

Gain a comprehensive understanding of the S1000D standard, including its structure, components and applicability to your technical publications.
Learn how to implement the specification with real-world examples and exercises, so you can create and manage structured content. In a private cohort we use your data modules.
Learn from trainers with deep knowledge of the specification. The program is modular, so you can work at your own pace whether you are new to S1000D or already writing data modules.
Sessions cater to your schedule and skill level. Classroom, live online or self-paced — the program adapts to the knowledge your team already has.
Course names and codes follow the terms used across the S1000D community: data module (DM), data module code (DMC), common source database (CSDB), standard numbering system (SNS), information control number (ICN) and business rules exchange (BREX). The official definitions are published by the S1000D steering committee; start at the S1000D external links page.
