On-Site or Online: Your Path to Forensic Expertise

Hi everyone,

At The Forensic Science Academy, part of Forensic Training Unlimited, we believe that your career path in forensics should fit your life — not the other way around. That’s why we offer both on-site and online training options designed to meet students exactly where they are in their journey.

Here’s a short video showing you “around” on our website (forensicscienceacademy.org).

On-Site Training: Learn by Doing

Our on-site, hands-on programs are immersive experiences designed for students who are ready to get practical. You’ll work side-by-side with instructors and other aspiring CSIs to learn how to:

• Process a crime scene from start to finish

• Photograph and document evidence correctly

• Collect, package, and log forensic samples

• Apply real investigative techniques under professional supervision

You’ll gain confidence and field-ready skills that can’t be learned from a textbook — all in a supportive, real-world environment.

Online Training: Learn From Anywhere

Can’t travel? No problem. Our online programs bring the Academy experience straight to you.

Whether you’re an international student, a working professional, or someone balancing multiple commitments, you can still build your forensic foundation through our virtual training courses. Each class includes:

• Expert-led video lectures

• Downloadable materials and resources

• Discussion boards for networking and peer collaboration

• Real-world case study analysis and practical assignments

You’ll receive the same quality of instruction and mentorship that our in-person students enjoy — just in a format that fits your schedule.

To help you become a confident, skilled, and employable forensic professional.
