In short

Students log in to a branded portal and work through the curriculum. You connect a GHL order form to sell access, so the whole sales-to-delivery flow stays in one platform.

• Available on Unlimited ($297/mo) and Pro ($497/mo)
• No extra cost for courses, hosting and delivery are included in your plan
• Sell access through GHL order forms; integrates with GHL CRM and workflows

What GoHighLevel Courses does

GHL Courses is a course platform built into GoHighLevel. You create courses with modules (sections) and lessons (individual videos or content pieces). Students access the course through a branded membership portal.

Video is the primary content type. Upload your video files directly to GHL or link from a hosted video platform. Add text content, downloadable files, and quizzes to each lesson.

Drip content is supported. You can release lessons on a schedule so students cannot jump ahead before they are ready. You can also lock lessons until a student completes the previous one.

Student progress is tracked. You can see which lessons each student completed and when. Completion can trigger a GHL workflow, for example, to send a congratulations message or grant access to the next level.

How to sell a course in GoHighLevel

Create a GHL product in the Products section. Set the price: one-time, recurring, or free. Link the product to the course content.

Build a sales funnel with a GHL order form that sells the product. When someone purchases, they get an account in the membership portal automatically.

You can also give free access by adding a contact to a course membership manually or through a workflow trigger.

GHL Courses vs Kajabi

Kajabi is the most popular dedicated course platform. It starts at $149/mo and provides polished course delivery, community, email marketing, and funnels in one tool.

GHL Courses covers the core course delivery functionality at a lower effective cost (the Unlimited plan at $297/mo includes courses plus CRM, automation, funnels, SMS, email, calendars, and more).

Kajabi has better student experience design out of the box and a more mature mobile app for students. GHL wins on total platform breadth: if you need CRM automation and SMS alongside your courses, GHL keeps everything in one account.

The right choice depends on your priorities. Coaches who want the best student experience and do not need deep CRM automation often prefer Kajabi. Agencies and entrepreneurs who are already building on GHL find it simpler to add courses there than to manage two platforms.
