Why FE colleges choose IMP ICFP
Most ICFP tools sit next to the budget. IMP ICFP sits inside it.
IMP ICFP connects curriculum, staffing and finance across your college. It answers the fundamental question: how many lessons do we want to run, by curriculum area, learner group and campus, and have we got the teaching capacity to deliver them? It all sits in one place. Change a curriculum decision, and your budget moves with it
100%
Most ICFP still runs in spreadsheets. Then leaves you reconciling two versions that never quite match.
Curriculum and finance plans that live in different places pull decisions in different directions across your campuses and curriculum areas. IMP ICFP brings them together, replacing disconnected spreadsheets and conflicting plans with one shared, forward-looking view.
IMP ICFP connects teaching plans, staffing data and financial forecasts in one place. Curriculum managers and finance leaders work from the same numbers, whether you operate across one site or multiple campuses.
FE provision isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is IMP ICFP. Whether you run A-levels, T-levels, apprenticeships, adult learning or HE provision, across one campus or several, IMP ICFP flexes around how your college actually operates, not the other way round.

IMP ICFPFAQs.
Yes. IMP ICFP draws staffing directly from IMP Planner, so curriculum managers and finance leads are always working from the most recent staffing profile when allocating curriculum resource and planning budgets across your campuses for the term and year ahead.
Yes. Our ICFP reporting suite provides powerful and insightful measures that can be analysed and compared across your college, even when subject definitions and timetable structures vary by campus or curriculum area. To do this, it uses standardised metrics and groups areas with similar characteristics.
IMP ICFP is flexible enough to accommodate the full range of FE provision. If you have specific requirements, just ask us how we can help.
With the ability to allocate staff to an unlimited number of non-contact activities, we've removed the vague old approach to understanding the use of this time. With IMP ICFP, you can quickly understand the cost of each non-contact activity and how this is split between leadership, teaching and non-teaching staff across your college.
You can benchmark across curriculum areas and campuses within your college and against aspirational targets you define. All standardised KPIs are RAG rated using a system you control, so you can see at a glance where to focus the conversation.
Absolutely. We recognise that off-payroll staff can and probably will deliver part of the curriculum. Curriculum requirements can be allocated against external contractors (e.g. industry specialists or peripatetic tutors). Their costs will then be included in reporting and benchmarking analysis, giving you a truer picture of delivery costs across your college.
