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. 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.
Outward Bound Sabah too 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 from USA, UK and Australia. Most of the training is handled by a qualified instructor. Local staff will be assessed and given a report on his or her performance after having done the assessment.
