What the certification is
HighLevel's main credential is the HighLevel Certified Admin. On top of that, HighLevel offers specialized skills badges in areas such as SMS compliance, AI features and course creation (the exact list changes; check the official page).
What it costs
When we last checked, HighLevel's certifications page listed:
| Option | Listed price |
|---|---|
| Monthly | $97 per month |
| Annual | $970 per year |
This is a separate subscription from a GoHighLevel platform plan. You may see other articles quoting very different structures and prices; at the time we checked, those didn't match HighLevel's own page.

How to get coaching
- Join GHL Baddie HQ, our free Discord community.
- Post that you're preparing for your certification and what you'd like help with.
- I'll reply there.
Haven't enrolled yet? When you're ready, you can sign up on HighLevel's certification page. (That's my affiliate link. It costs you nothing extra, and my coaching is free either way.)
Coaching covers the skills, never exam questions or answers. No one can guarantee a pass. Your GHL Baddie isn't affiliated with HighLevel, and HighLevel sets its own prices and terms.
What's actually required
- Enroll in the certification program.
- Complete the training, which includes hands-on tasks inside GoHighLevel.
- Pass a live proctored exam.
HighLevel describes the course as designed to take roughly 7–10 days.
How long it lasts — the part few people explain
- The Admin certification is valid for two years.
- To stay certified, you need to earn additional skills badges each year (HighLevel's page specified at least two per year when we checked).
- Certified Admins can be listed in HighLevel's certified directory, but the listing depends on keeping the subscription active.
In other words, it's an ongoing commitment, not a one-time certificate. Factor the continuing cost and badge requirements into your decision.
Is it worth it?
Honestly: it depends on where you are. HighLevel's own certification team has said the Philippines has one of the largest pools of HighLevel Certified Admins in the world. In a market like that, the certificate is closer to a baseline than something that sets you apart.
- Probably worth it if clients or agencies you want to work with ask for it, or once you're earning from GHL work and want the directory listing.
- Probably not first if you're still learning the basics — the money and time may do more for you as practice and portfolio builds.
Either way, a portfolio of tested builds is what lets you show — not just claim — that you can do the job. See the GHL VA Roadmap for how the two fit together.
