NCI GRADUATE SCHOOL
Power has Protocols. You’re about to learn them.
The Complete System for Mastering Human Behavior.
Now Declassified.
Train in the World’s Most Advanced Real-Time Behavioral System
You’ve been influenced since birth
It’s time to take the controls
You’ve felt it.
The hesitation before you speak.
The moment someone else wins the room while you’re still building the sentence.
The deals you almost closed.
The arguments you should’ve won.
The times you left thinking, “Why did I say that?”
You’ve spent your entire life inside other people’s influence.
Their tone. Their frame. Their story.
You’ve been trained without knowing it.
Every commercial, every classroom, every conversation. All of it wrote code into your behavior.
The tragedy? You learned to follow patterns designed by people who never wanted you to see them.
Now you do.
This is where the veil lifts, where you stop reacting and start authoring.
Welcome to the NCI Graduate School, the system that rewires the human machine you’ve been driving blind.
Built from two decades of military tradecraft, neuroscience, and behavioral engineering, it’s the only training on Earth that teaches you how influence actually works. Beneath language, beneath reason, beneath awareness itself.
Most people think they only need more skills.
It’s about gaining root access to the mind.
Yours first.
Then everyone else’s.
“Elegant. Surgical. Dangerous.”

The NCI Grad School experience is more than education. it’s a supportive, collaborative community led by Chase’s deep understanding of human behavior that helps you grow both personally and professionally.
THE NEW STANDARD OF MASTERY
Universities teach you what to think.
Grad School teaches you how people think and how to change it.
While academia trades in theories, we deal in outcomes.
Every module here was built from 30,000 hours of human observation and $19 million in research from field operatives, interrogators, and behavioral scientists .
Forget motivation.
Forget positive thinking.
Those were built for the masses.
This is for the few who feel that pull. Who know they were designed for something more.
Every training sequence installs massive shifts in everything that matters.
There’s no studying. There’s no “grind”.
When that happens, you’ll feel it:
The room shifts when you walk in.
People adjust without knowing why.
There are a few who refuse to be ordinary.
While most just consume ideas — they install them.
And while the masses obsess over motivation, they study behavioral control.
For millennia, human skills have determined success, there’s no future where that’s not the case.
PERIOD.
Hot Take: You don’t need MORE education.
NCI Grad School is the world’s most advanced behavior system reserved for those who lead elite teams, and start shit.
Every lecture strips away the illusion. Every exercise rewires your personal authority.
People think they need to ‘learn’ influence - NCI Grad School lets you BECOME IT entirely.
You’ll learn faster than any classroom could teach because the same accelerated-learning models used to train Navy SEALs are wired into the curriculum .
Every drill, every live call, every confidential file inside Grad School exists for one purpose: to make human behavior your instrument.
Twenty years of government-level development.
Thirty-thousand hours of field research.
This isn’t motivational bullshit or weekend inspiration. NCI Grad School is the systematic installation of mastery in human behavior.
NCI Grad School gives you control of people, perception, and reality itself.
College… gives you information.
WHY GRAD SCHOOL EXISTS
Because the world taught you to play small.
You were told human behavior can’t be decoded.
That influence belongs to the gifted.
That ethics mean weakness, and power means corruption.
Every system around you was designed to keep you CONSUMING knowledge, not installing power.
People mistake understanding for capability.
Chase spent two decades turning military-grade behavioral tradecraft into a sequence anybody can master.
Every week, live inside the NCI environment, you’ll watch impossible things happen:
A shy student calibrates body language in real time and commands a boardroom.
A therapist installs new influence scripts and resolves a decade-old client block in twenty minutes.
A single mother learns to regulate tone and gets her teenager to open up for the first time in years.
**It sounds impossible because people are wired to think that way.
You’ll quickly realize these aren’t “psych tricks.”
They’re the operating instructions for the human brain, and they work anywhere humans breathe.
Training happens inside the conversations you’re already having.
Mastery sneaks up on you while you live your life.
WHAT YOU’LL MASTER
The three systems that control every human interaction on Earth.
You won’t memorize scripts.
(You already know those are the tools of the uninformed)
You’ll download frameworks that change the way people respond to you permanently.
NCI Grad School targets the real driver of behavior: the nervous system.
1. AUTHORITY — The Architecture of Presence
Authority isn’t posture, status, or even hierarchy.
It’s a mindset - a worldview.
When you understand how the brain actually reads dominance, warmth, and composure, your presence starts re-programming the room before you speak.
You’ll learn to generate involuntary compliance in others while your nervous system is calm, grounded, and surgical.
You’ll stop acting confident — and start being the gravitational center people orbit around.
PROFILING — The Science of Seeing
You can read people so deep it feels telepathic.
From micro-expressions to linguistic tells, from gesture sequencing to behavioral deviation mapping… you’ll be able to predict what someone will do before they do it.
The Behavioral Compass and Six-Axis Model give you a live dashboard for human motivation, fear, and decision-making. You’ll have it built into your mind.
You won’t guess what they mean — you’ll see the code running under every word.
INFLUENCE — The Weaponized Art of Language
You’ll master linguistic entrainment, confusion and command structures, embedded suggestion, and the neurological sequencing behind story and emotion.
You’ll discover how to shift anyone’s state, frame, and focus in real time and how to lead without force.
By the end of the year, your speech will carry the same structure used in high-level interrogation, negotiation, and leadership environments worldwide.
You’ll practice these three systems together until they fuse into instinct.
No dumb ass homework, no endless reading — the reps happen in your life, in every conversation, until mastery becomes automatic.
Information changes minds. Presence changes people.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
The world’s most advanced behavioral training environment.
You've taken an online course before… This Ain’t It.
Grad School is an ecosystem.
Every element exists to collapse the distance between knowledge and capability the exact method used to train intelligence operators in the field.
WEEKLY LIVE MENTORSHIP WITH CHASE HUGHES
Every Sunday, Chase goes live with the Grad School community with surgical-level training.
You’ll see him break down real scenarios in persuasion, negotiation, and behavioral control often in real time.
Every Sunday night session installs frameworks into your nervous system, so that by Monday morning, you’re different.
1-ON-1 PRIVATE COACHING WITH NCI-4 CERTIFIED MENTORS
You’ll be paired with a certified Author-level coach — one of the few NCI-4 graduates trained to teach behavioral influence at the government tier.
No one gets left behind.
Together, you’ll map your Authority Triangle, profile patterns, and build custom training strategies for your exact goals.
Every conversation becomes a mirror showing you how people truly see you and how to rewrite that in real time.
THE GRAD SCHOOL VAULT — CONFIDENTIAL ACCESS
The vault is where we keep the restricted material.
Hundreds of unreleased recordings, drills, and classified field notes — including modules on elicitation, social frame dominance, advanced hypnosis, and neural sequencing. Even CIA documents that are NOT online at all.
This is content previously reserved for intelligence personnel and special operations.
Now, it’s your private archive.
INTERACTIVE BEHAVIORAL DRILLS
Theory is useless without muscle memory.
You’ll run structured, scenario-based drills that simulate live influence, conflict, and persuasion events.
These drills were adapted directly from military accelerated-learning systems no wasted effort, no cognitive overload.
STUDY GROUPS & COMMUNITY OPS ROOM
Every student becomes part of a closed network of operators in training entrepreneurs, therapists, executives, and covert specialists from around the world.
Inside these study groups, you’ll practice, deconstruct, and share your real-world applications.
This is your tribe, the one place where language like neural entrainment and frame dominance doesn’t need explanation.
LIFETIME CERTIFICATION & STATUS
Completion of the Grad School program earns your official NCI-4 certification, verifying mastery in behavioral profiling, influence, and advanced persuasion.
This credential is recognized across intelligence, law enforcement, and executive leadership sectors worldwide.
Your name becomes part of the record, the registry of those who went beyond theory and became authors of human behavior itself.
CONTINUED ACCESS AND UPGRADES
At the end of your year, you’ll have confidential opportunities the moment you graduate that are NOT shared publicly for secrecy.
Becoming an NCI-4 Author has benefits we cannot talk about online
THE OUTCOMES
What happens when the switch flips.
The first thing you’ll notice isn’t some intellectual bullshit.
It’s physical.
You’ll catch yourself slowing your breath while others rush to speak.
You’ll see patterns in conversation before words even land.
People will start explaining themselves to you without knowing why.
You’ll stop chasing respect and become the natural center of it.
Your Nervous System Recalibrates
Authority stops being a performance.
You walk into a room and the energy reorganizes itself.
Your composure becomes the loudest voice present.
Your Perception Sharpens
You see micro-expressions, tone shifts, and contradictions others miss entirely.
You hear what people hope you won’t notice they are hiding, not just what they say.
You feel motives, fears, and permission levels moving underneath conversation like currents.
Your Communication Changes Reality
Your words start altering people around you, and at first, you’ll think it’s a fluke.
You’ll use embedded story and suggestion to move emotions, choices, and compliance without force or pressure.
Even silence becomes an instrument.
You learn the anatomy of influence and how to use it ethically, surgically, and beautifully.
Your Environment Begins to Respond Differently.
People mirror your calm.
Negotiations end faster.
Conflict dissolves before escalation.
You start getting “yes” before you ask.
And when you do speak, people remember your words for days.
Your communication changes reality
You stop “trying” to apply techniques.
You start living from a different operating system — one built on control, compassion, and absolute composure.
And once that wiring exists, it doesn’t decay.
You’ll look back one day and realize:
The version of you that doubted this was real was the version built by the old world.
That version doesn’t exist anymore.
WHO IT’S FOR / WHO IT’S NOT FOR
This is not for everyone. It was never meant to be.
Most people want tips.
They want shortcuts, dopamine, and reassurance.
Grad School was built for the ones who would rather lose comfort than stay blind.
WHO IT’S FOR
The Operator.
You’ve outgrown surface-level psychology.
You want command over outcomes — at work, at home, in silence.
The Leader.
You already carry responsibility. For teams, clients, or family and you know influence isn’t optional.
You want language that moves people without manipulation, and composure that ends conflict before it begins.
The Analyst.
You’ve studied human behavior long enough to know theory doesn’t transfer.
You’re obsessed with mechanics. Pattern, voltage, entrainment and you’re done settling for guesses.
The Visionary.
You know something massive is approaching an evolution in our species and you want to be fluent before the world catches up.
WHO IT’S NOT FOR
Those looking for motivation.
Those who still believe charisma is a character trait.
Those who want entertainment more than evolution.
Those unwilling to examine their own behavior under the same microscope they use on others.
Those who think ethics and power cannot coexist.
Grad School demands only two things:
Curiosity and Accountability.
Everything else; confidence, influence, precision is installed along the way.
If you have to ask whether you’re ready, you probably are.
The unready don’t make it this far.
THE LETTER
Dear (maybe) Future Author,
I have no idea know who the hell told you that influence was manipulation.
Or that confidence was some personality trait.
Or that power only belonged to people born with it.
But they were wrong.
The truth is simpler, older, and more dangerous.
Every human being you meet is running a script — and 99% of them don’t know who wrote it.
You can spend a lifetime reacting to those scripts, or you can learn to write your own.
That’s what we do here.
For twenty years I watched the world’s best operatives learn to shape reality under pressure.
They didn’t have charisma or even luck.
It was just real control.
Control over physiology, over language, over the invisible electricity between two people in conversation.
I built Grad School because no one ever gave the rest of the world those tools.
Because you deserve to walk through life with the same calm certainty as someone who knows the code.
When you learn to see behavior this clearly, the noise of the world quiets. It’s actually weird for a little while as you get used to it.
You stop performing.
You stop chasing validation.
You stop fighting for control because you already have it.
Influence stops being a tool you use.
It becomes the natural expression of you.
I’m not promising motivation.
I’m promising mastery, the kind that doesn’t fade when you’re tired or scared.
The kind that changes the way people breathe around you.
If you’ve felt it — that pull that something in you is supposed to be sharper, calmer, more deliberate. That isn’t ambition.
That’s recognition.
You’ve just been waiting to meet the system built for it.
If you’re ready, stop scrolling.
Read the next line slowly.
You don’t have to chase authority anymore.
You can become it.
See you inside,
– Chase Hughes
THE INVESTMENT
The cost of knowing what others never will.
Most people spend their lives trying to guess why things go wrong, in relationships, business, negotiations, or trust.
WHAT YOU’RE ALREADY PAYING NOW:
People pay in missed opportunities, broken teams, and unreached goals.
The tuition for that life is incalculable.
It’s the real cost of ignorance.
Investing in something the price of a used car - that will 10x your return, instead of depreciate over time.

NCI Grad School FAQ
Should I start with the lower levels first?
If you’re serious about mastering behavioral influence, start with Graduate School. It includes everything from the lower levels and, more importantly, it’s full immersion for high performers who don’t have time for trial and error. You’ll get live mentorship, community, coaching, and a repeatable system that accelerates outcomes. Many students say, “I wish I started here.”
How long is the program?
NCI Graduate School is a 12 month immersion. You’ll have longer access to support, calls, and content but it’s engineered to create permanent transformation fast, without dragging on. Think of it like a behavioral black belt: intense, focused, and tailored to your life. The 9-week core moves you from fundamentals to fluent application, then the final phase locks it in.
Is this a one-size-fits-all program?
Not even close. This isn’t “watch videos and hope.” Every part is personalized from live coaching to drills, feedback, and study groups. It’s built for nuanced, real-life situations where generic advice fails. Whether you’re brand-new to behavioral training or years in, you’ll apply everything directly to your context work, relationships, leadership.
How will I know I am making progress?
You’ll feel it in your nervous system and see it in how people respond. You’ll be calmer, more in control, and more trusted without trying harder. Feedback loops are built into every part of the program, so you’ll know what’s working (and what’s not) in real time. Progress shows up within weeks and compounds with practice.
Do I get support to make the material practical?
That’s the point. You’ll practice in real time, get feedback from trained mentors, and rehearse the few skills that decide outcomes in high-pressure moments. This isn’t information. It’s behavior change deliberate practice with eyes on you, fine-tuning the signal you send
How much time do I have to set aside weekly for training?
Plan for about 3–4 hours a week. That includes the live Sunday lecture and implementation sessions, practice drills, and 1-on-1 or group coaching. The hidden win: you get time back, less friction, fewer misreads, no more second-guessing.
What age group is this for?
Most students are in their 40s and 50s people who’ve already been successful and want to master what still feels like a blindspot. If you’ve built your career on systems and strategy but interpersonal influence feels like guesswork, this was built for you no prerequisites.
What is the success rate of the program?
Over 90% of students report a measurable shift in leadership, confidence, and communication within the first few weeks. Many describe it as “finally unlocking a part of myself I couldn’t access before.” If you do the work, it works step by step, reinforced until it sticks.
Can I build a career from this training?
Yes and many do. While it’s designed for professionals leveling up leadership and influence, it’s also the foundation for becoming a certified NCI mentor, coach, or trainer. If you’re drawn to helping others master influence, we’ll show you how to turn that into a path.
