International Standard Courses
Outward Bound Sabah is rapidly gaining a reputation for excellence not only
in Sabah but on an international level. Participants from more than 15
countries have benefited from courses here, with regular
groups traveling from Singapore, Brunei, USA, UK and Hong Kong, China.
Approximately 40% of students is from overseas.
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
the base.
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 internal qualification system. This is based on an
outdoor curriculum adopted from USA, UK and Australia. Most of the training is
handled by a senior instructor. Staff will be assessed and given a report on his/ her performance
after having done the assessment. We also have a Risk Management protocol
and conduct safety reviews regularly. It is mandatory for each Outward Bound
center to invite external safety reviewer to assess the safety standard of the
activities. This is usually done every two years.
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 (Tropical Rainforest) areas.
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."
