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 (disclosure: I earn a commission if you sign up through my link — at no extra cost to you) — 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
Automations — enrollment triggers, CRM integration, and the lead-gen quiz builder

Who This Is For

Course creators who have chosen GoHighLevel as their platform (or are considering it) and want step-by-step guidance through the setup process. If you have not chosen a platform yet, start with Pick Your Platform first.

Prerequisites

You need a GoHighLevel account (the 14-day free trial works fine), a course outline, and content ready to upload. For best results, complete these first:

Plan Your Course — your outline and module structure
Pick Your Platform — the platform comparison that led you here
Produce Your Course Videos or Create Videos Without Being on Camera — your video content
