Welcome to Chaos University!

Whether you are a freshman or a graduate student, we welcome you to Chaos University, where tuition is free and classes take place whenever you want!

Classes here are in the form of free video presentations, designed to show and teach you more about Chaos Software products like Chaos Intellect and Time & Chaos. They work right in your browser, so click on one of the subjects below to check it out!

The following courses are available now:

Intellect 4 Training (also for T&C 8/Chaos Free)

The following courses pertain to our new Intellect 4. Other than the email features, the way the program works and the screen looks is the same as in our Time & Chaos 8 and the basics are also in Chaos Free, so if you use one of those programs instead of Intellect 4, these videos should still apply!

Each video is less than 5 minutes long, so you don't need to invest a lot of time to become an expert!

The most recent courses added below are: 702, 703, 802, 803, 804
