PiBian courses are normally custom-designed to suit the needs and objectives of client-organisations. They are also conducted at sites chosen by client-organisations.

In cases where clients leave it to PiBi to advise, there are several course-modules in PiBi’s inventory where they have proven to be effective for most needs. Also, PiBi’s own training complex at Jeram Besu, in the district of Raub, Pahang is one of the most ideal as it has all the natural elements – jungles, rapids, hills, swamps, etc - that PiBi incorporates into their courses.
