Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions asked for Adult Community Education Workshops:
Can my children come with me?
Unfortunately, as consideration for the other learners, we do not allow children to attend our courses and workshops; however, sometimes we make exceptions. If you feel your request is reasonable, email the ACE manager to discuss your situation.
Are your courses and workshops accredited?
No, we can write a confirmation letter if required, but our courses do not accumulate NZQA credits.
How do I register for a course or workshop?
Navigate to the Courses | Event tab. Click on the View More button under the course you want to register for. The registration link is under the description.
What if I register for an ACE course and make the payment but don’t attend? Can I get a refund?
Yes, we are happy to refund any course fee if you have not attended. You will need to send us an email to: lolag@farnorthreap.org.nz to request a refund.
If I register for a course but don’t attend, can I still register for the course at a later time?
Yes, you can re-enrol anytime.
Xero for Better Business Decisions
Do I need previous Xero experience?
Some familiarity with Xero will be helpful, as this workshop focuses on budgeting, reporting, and business performance monitoring rather than basic setup or bookkeeping tasks.
Will I learn how to create a business budget?
No. The workshop focuses on using budgets within Xero after they have been prepared. Budget creation should be undertaken with your accountant or business adviser.
Who is this workshop suitable for?
The workshop is suitable for business owners, sole traders, farmers, tradies, administrators, bookkeepers, managers, and anyone wanting to gain more from their Xero reporting tools.
How much does it cost?
This workshop is free to attend.
