International Standard Courses
Outward Bound Sabah is rapidly gaining a reputation for excellence
in Sabah and also in the international arena. Approximately 40% of the total
participants are from overseas i.e Singapore, Brunei, USA, UK and Hong Kong, China
etc.
Safety
Safety is of paramount importance to Outward Bound Sabah.
Activities are carefully planned, tested and constantly supervised by
qualified and experienced instructors.
Before an activity is carried out, all participants
are briefed and checked on safety requirements and equipment.
Only up-to-date and internationally recognized equipment is used for our
activities.
Well-qualified Staff
The
instructor is a vital component to the success of any
Outward Bound Sabah programme.
Instructors are chosen after a rigorous selection procedure
and undertake extensive training to develop the necessary technical
and people skills.
Many instructors travel overseas for training and
placements. We also receives visiting instructors from
other countries who broaden the knowledge and experience of the staff
at the base here.
Quality of Qualification
As there is as yet no standard national qualification for
outdoor Instructors in Malaysia, Outward Bound Sabah has taken the initiative
to set-up its own Instructor Qualification and Assessment System. The methods
and curriculum were similarly adopted from other Outward Bound centers such as USA, United Kingdom,
Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia. Most of the training is
handled by a senior instructor however external trainers are also being invited
to conduct the training. Instructors are being assessed and given a report on his/ her performance
in the Staff Appraisal System. We also have a Risk Management System whereby
every activity and the equipment are being reviewed periodically. It is mandatory for each Outward Bound
center to undergo the International Safety and Program Review conducted
biannually by overseas experts to assess the standard practices of the
center.
Ideal Location and Facilities
The location of the school
is ideal for various activities with direct
access to the South China Sea, Kawang River and the close proximity
to the mountains and jungle of Tropical Rainforest.
This diverse natural environment of Sabah provides a perfect backdrop for
Outward Bound Sabah activities.
The hundred acre site
between the Kawang river and coastal foothills,
incorporates accommodation, conference rooms, dining room, boat house,
offices etc. as well as being the location for many of the course
activities.
The dormitories can accommodate up to 120 people at any one time.
"Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from
time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught."
- Oscar Wilde
