Set Up Your Course in GoHighLevel
A step-by-step walkthrough for building, pricing, and launching your course inside GoHighLevel — from account setup to your first student.
What You’ll Learn
By the end of this course, you will have a fully built course inside GoHighLevel — modules uploaded, quizzes created, pricing set, student portal branded, and ready for your first enrollment.
This is a hands-on course. Every lesson walks you through a specific setup step inside GHL. Open your account in another tab and follow along.
You will learn:
- Account setup — connecting your domain, navigating the dashboard, understanding where everything lives
- Course structure — creating modules and lessons, uploading video (hosted directly by GHL — no extra video service needed), adding downloadable files
- Quizzes and assessments — building quizzes with passing grades, creating assignments, tracking results with analytics
- Drip scheduling — time-based, date-based, progress-based, and hybrid drip options
- Pricing and checkout — one-time payments, subscriptions, payment plans, free trials, order bumps
- Student portal — branding, certificates, community setup with gamification and events
- Automation — enrollment triggers, CRM integration, and the lead-gen quiz builder
