Prerequisites for Exporting Certificates in GoHighLevel

You have an active GoHighLevel account.

Step-by-Step: Export Issued Certificates as CSV in GoHighLevel

Follow the steps below to export issued certificates from your GoHighLevel account:

Step 1: Open the Course or Certification in GoHighLevel

Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
Navigate to the area where your courses or certifications are managed. This may be under a product, membership, or course section depending on your setup.
Select the specific course or certification for which you want to export issued certificates.

Make sure you are viewing the course that has issued certificates attached to it; otherwise, your export will be empty.

Step 2: Go to the Issued Certificates Section in GoHighLevel

Inside the selected course or certification, look for an option related to participants, students, or certificates.
Open the Issued Certificates or similar tab that lists every person who has received a certificate for that course.

This section will show a list of issued certificates along with relevant data such as contact names, email addresses, and completion dates.

Step 3: Locate the CSV Export Option

Within the issued certificates view in GoHighLevel, you will find a control to export the records. Typically, you will see:

A button labeled something like Export or Export CSV.
A menu icon (three dots or a similar symbol) that opens additional actions, including export.

Click the applicable control to start the export process.

Step 4: Export Issued Certificates as a CSV File

Click the Export or Export CSV action in the issued certificates view.
GoHighLevel will generate a CSV file containing all currently visible issued certificates for that course.
The CSV file will then download to your device, usually via your browser’s standard download process.

Once the download finishes, you will have a CSV file that you can open with Excel, Google Sheets, or any compatible spreadsheet or database tool.

Understanding the Exported CSV from GoHighLevel

The exported CSV file from GoHighLevel will typically include core data related to each issued certificate, such as:

Recipient name or contact name.
Recipient email address.
Associated course or certificate name.
Date of issue or completion.
Certificate ID or reference identifier (where applicable).

You can sort, filter, and analyze this data to track completion rates, verify who holds active certificates, and prepare reports for clients or internal teams.

Best Practices for Working with GoHighLevel Certificate Exports

To get the most out of your GoHighLevel certificate export, consider these best practices:

Include the course name and export date in the file name (for example, course-name-certificates-2025-01-01.csv).

Use Filters and Pivot Tables

In your spreadsheet tool, filter by completion date to see recent activity.
Build pivot tables to summarize completions by month, course, or instructor.

Importing it into analytics dashboards.
Syncing it with HR or LMS records where appropriate.
Sharing it with stakeholders who need visibility into course completion status.

Troubleshooting GoHighLevel Certificate CSV Exports

If you encounter issues when exporting issued certificates from GoHighLevel, try the following steps:

No data in the CSV: Confirm that the selected course has issued certificates and that you are in the correct course or product.
Export button missing: Check your user permissions or role inside GoHighLevel to ensure you can access export features.
File will not open: Make sure you are using a compatible spreadsheet tool and that the file extension is .csv.
