FAQ (based on actual questions asked)

  • Are there many webinars or videos to watch before coming to the seminar?

    There are 10 REX online farm planning webinars that are 2 hours each that, ideally, you would watch before the Masterclass. However you could get away with watching the first 5 of these, which would be 10 hours in total. 

  • How much work should be done before coming?

    As per item #4 on the REXi Experience section on this page (above), the only other task is to, 'create your own Google Earth Pro farm map'

  • Is the training the same price for a family of a participant or other people on the same project/farm?

    In order to make this training as accessible the margins on this event are very low. Regrarians on-farm trainings have a unique sliding-scale and profit-share component such that the fees that Regrarians and the host farm receives are very low so as to decrease the minimum participant threshold down to just 15 people. If this training gets to 25 people then discounts will become available.

  • Is there a cancellation policy or cut-off date?

    Yes—if we cancel the event then this will happen by the cut-off date of 28th of July 2025. If the event is cancelled for whatever reason at any time then a full refund of the event ticket paid. All ticket funds are reserved in a special Stripe account for these reasons.  If you cancel then we will refund you in full prior to the cut-off date. If after the cut-off date then it will be a NZD$500 refund.
