How to Create a Course in GoHighLevel for Beginners (Tutorial)

April 20, 2024

As your agency grows, you need an educated audience for many reasons. For one thing, having an educated audience means having a knowledgeable audience that can act independently. Furthermore, a course is a product that establishes your brand as an authority and sets you apart from your peers in a given field while helping you earn more money. It expands your customer base and shows that you care about your audience by increasing their value through education.

Creating a course in GoHighLevel is easy; you can create one with five easy steps.

  • Firstly, head to your sub-account and click on the "sites" from the menu tab. 
  • Afterward, you head to the membership tab and click "Products."
  • In the products section, you can select "course".
  • There are three different types of course templates available in GoHighLevel. Depending on what version you want to create, you can select from either
  1. Sprint Course: A sprint course is designed to build a membership gateway. Think of it as a short introductory setup to familiarize your customers with your products and services.
  2. Marathon Course: A marathon course is a longer course you can use to train and upskill your audience within your specific niche. Because it is longer and more complicated than a sprint course, your customers will get a more rounded and specialized knowledge from completing the course.
