Online Learning at Forensic Academy Africa focuses on communication-oriented education, with the tutor, teacher or facilitator serving as a discussion leader. A shared understanding of a topic promotes socialisation and group skills, such as communication, listening, and participation. 

Face-to-face learning at Forensic Academy Africa aims to process and transfer new knowledge into long-term memory, thereby improving students' cognitive processing abilities and enhancing their recall and retention of memories.

Prior knowledge of students affects the level of instructional support.
