Welcome to Chaos University!

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

Classes here are free video presentations, designed to show and teach you more about 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:

Training for Intellect and Time & Chaos

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

Each video is less than 10 minutes long, most are less than 5, so you don't need to invest a lot of time to become an expert!
