About the Programme


The Learning Centre has been approved by the Retirement Commissioner to deliver the Sorted seminars on Financial Literacy.

Managing debt

This Sorted seminar introduces participants to managing debt well. It takes an hour, and participants will start to make their own debt repayment plan.

Debt is what you owe — it comes in many forms, including mortgages, personal loans, credit card balances, hire purchase agreements, and loans from family.

Set your goals, make a budget

This Sorted seminar introduces participants to setting goals and making a budget. It takes an hour, during which participants will start to set their own goals.

You will receive the booklet ‘KiwiSaver – Is it right for you?’.

In delivering the seminars, we agree to be neutral and impartial. We do not endorse or refer people to products, services or providers, and we do not represent Sorted.
