The school rebranded to The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance in 2006 and now also offers courses in drums, vocals, song writing, music production, audio engineering, music business and digital marketing.[4]
In 2021, ICMP was granted full degree awarding powers by the Office for Students (OFS), affording the institution the authority to award certificates, diplomas and degrees up to and including Master’s level qualifications from September 2022.[5]
In 2023 ICMP became part of the AD Education Group.[6] AD Education includes a group of 21 creative colleges.[7]
