FAQs

Future Managers can only develop a textbook or revise a title when we receive instruction from the various Departments of Education.  We cannot choose to write a textbook if there has not been a call for submissions for a new or revised title.  We can update a textbook with new examples, but we cannot make any changes to the syllabus.

Future Managers is able to write other support material without a call from a Departments of Education, for example our book on “Managing Stress” and our study guides.

Textbooks (new or revised titles) go through a submission process with the various Departments of Education.  For example, if a new title has been called for by the DHET, the DHET will ask publishers to submit Textbooks for consideration.  Textbooks go through a screening process and the DHET then informs publishers of the outcome of the submission, which can be approved, conditionally approved and not approved.  Publishers can only market approved and conditionally approved titles.

Visit our website for FREE resources like past exam papers, PowerPoint presentations, interactive tests and lots more.  Newer titles or titles that have been recently revised have QR codes on the title page.  Scan that QR code to go directly to a microsite with free resources for that specific subject.  Books that don’t have a QR code still have resources available on our website (www.futuremanagers.com).

Please send an email to info@futuremanagers.com with a clear request and we will respond to you with the necessary contact person.

Lecturer Guides were products that were not initially required for submission to the DHET.  Some syllabi have not been reviewed recently and so may not have these resources.  We are embarking on a project to close these gaps.

Yes and no!  You need data to download the app, and you need data to download the eBooks that you have purchased.  However, once you have downloaded your purchased eBooks they can be accessed without data.

Visit our website (www.futuremanagers.com) and navigate to the bookshop.  From there you can search for the title of the eBook you would like to purchase.

You can also purchase eBooks from our Android and iOS apps.

Students can access eBooks and the digital resources on our website from any kind of device.

The QR codes are a new approach to accessing resources.  Since the inception of the QR codes there have been no new or revised NCV titles.  We have however, developed QR codes for all NCV Fundamentals.  These codes will be given to colleges on a flyer and is also available on our Facebook page.  All revisions and new books going forward, will have QR codes.  Remember that all of the resources on the QR code can also be found for FREE download from our website www.futuremanagers.com

The focus at Future Managers is the development of quality content and support resources.  When possible (especially with new and revised curriculum) we embark on workshops to share the new approaches with colleges.  Our Sales and Marketing Team are well informed around curriculum changes and can provide updates to support colleges.  Where we do have capacity or feel a specific need, we will embark on workshops.  These will be widely advertised via our Key Account Representatives and our various communication channels.

college and we have no influence over that choice.  Each college will have to explore the benefits that a book shop may provide to the college vs. direct procurement from Future Managers.  We have very good relationships with all of our bookshops and keep them updated with the newest syllabi and curriculum information.

No matter what option a college chooses, you can be assured of our support and excellent service.
