Outward Bound has in place a comprehensive and rigorous safety programme to ensure we can deliver quality courses in a safe and supportive environment. We have our own dedicated Safety Manager, plus an External Safety Committee made up of independent outdoor industry experts.

There are many ways people pay for their course. If funds are your barrier to attending, we are here to help you. We will take you through the process of raising your course fees. Click here to find out more...

Courses involve physical challenge. The fitter you are, the easier you will find some of the activities. You need to be able to particpate in a full day's physical activity and be able to run or fast walk three kilometres in 25 minutes. There will be water activities, so you need to be comfortable in water, but lifejackets will always be available.
