How to Share and Download Certificates in GoHighLevel
If you use ClickUp to organize course content and rely on GoHighLevel to deliver it, you need a clear process for sharing and downloading completion certificates. This step-by-step guide explains exactly how students can access their certificates from inside a course, how they can share them with others, and how they can download them for their own records.
The instructions below are based on the built-in course certificate tools available in the GoHighLevel Courses system. Follow each section carefully so you can confidently support students when they complete your training.
Understanding Certificates in GoHighLevel
In GoHighLevel, certificates are generated automatically when a student finishes all required lessons in a course that uses a certificate. Once the certificate is issued, students can view it and then either share it or download it.
From the student perspective, everything happens inside the course player. As the course admin, you simply need to know where students will find the certificate options and what actions they can take.
- Certificates appear after course completion.
- They live in the student’s course view.
- Students control how they share or download them.
The rest of this article walks through the exact steps for each action, all directly within the GoHighLevel interface.
Accessing Course Certificates in GoHighLevel
Before anyone can share or download a certificate, the student must first locate it in the course. These are the typical steps a learner will follow once they log in.
Step 1: Open the relevant course in GoHighLevel
- The student logs into the course portal or membership area connected to your GoHighLevel account.
- They navigate to the list of available courses.
- They click the specific course they have completed or are close to completing.
Certificates only appear if the course has been finished according to the requirements defined in your GoHighLevel course settings.
Step 2: Locate the certificate area
Inside the course interface, GoHighLevel presents a section where the certificate becomes available upon completion. The platform clearly indicates that the student has earned a certificate.
From there, a student will see options such as:
- Viewing the certificate
- Sharing the certificate
- Downloading the certificate
Once students know where to look in GoHighLevel, accessing their certificate becomes a simple, repeatable process.
How to Share Certificates from GoHighLevel
Students often want to share their achievements on social networks or with potential employers. GoHighLevel makes this easy by providing a unique certificate URL that can be shared with others.
Step-by-step: Share a GoHighLevel certificate
- The student opens the completed course where the certificate is available.
- They click on the Share Certificate option provided with the certificate preview.
- GoHighLevel displays a unique, shareable URL linked to that specific certificate.
- The student copies the URL to their clipboard.
- They can paste the URL into an email, a messaging app, a resume, or a social media post.
Anyone who receives this link can open the certificate page and verify the student’s accomplishment. This simple URL sharing approach lets learners promote their completion record without needing to send large files.
Best practices for sharing certificates
When guiding students on how to share their GoHighLevel certificates, consider suggesting a few best practices:
- Add the certificate link to professional profiles.
- Include it in job applications or proposals.
- Share it with team leads to document training progress.
Because the certificate is hosted in GoHighLevel, recipients can quickly confirm the details online.
How to Download Certificates in GoHighLevel
Some students prefer to keep a local copy of their certificate for printing, offline storage, or uploading to other systems. GoHighLevel supports this need with a straightforward download feature.
Step-by-step: Download a GoHighLevel certificate
- The student opens the completed course inside the GoHighLevel course player.
- They locate the certificate section that appears after completing all modules.
- They click the Download Certificate button or link shown near the certificate preview.
- GoHighLevel generates a downloadable file (typically a PDF) containing the certificate details.
- The file is saved to the student’s device, based on their browser’s download settings.
Once downloaded, the certificate can be stored, printed, or attached to other platforms as needed.
Tips for managing downloaded certificates
To help students stay organized, recommend the following:
- Create a dedicated folder on their device for all GoHighLevel course certificates.
- Rename the file with the course name and completion date for easier tracking.
- Back up the folder to a cloud storage service for safekeeping.
This ensures learners always have easy access to their achievement records, even if they are not logged into GoHighLevel.
Troubleshooting Certificate Access in GoHighLevel
If a student cannot see their certificate, the issue typically falls into one of a few common scenarios within GoHighLevel.
- Course not fully completed: Confirm all lessons or modules are marked as complete.
- No certificate configured: Verify that the course was set up with a certificate in the GoHighLevel course settings.
- Browser or cache problems: Ask the student to refresh the page, try another browser, or clear cache.
