You don't need any experience, and you don't need a GoHighLevel account yet. Here's what Your GHL Baddie is, how it works, and the one thing to do first.

Your first step

Open Module 1, Lesson 1: What GoHighLevel Actually Is (and What It Replaces). It takes about 10 minutes. Module 1 is 3 short lessons (~42 min) and gives you the mental model everything else builds on.

What Your GHL Baddie is

Your GHL Baddie is a free, structured way to learn GoHighLevel (GHL) — the all-in-one CRM and automation platform used by agencies and small businesses. It's built for complete beginners and for people who want to become a GHL virtual assistant.

  • Free. Every lesson, quiz and project. No paywall.
  • No signup. Your progress saves in your browser.
  • In order. 7 modules, 23 lessons, about 6 hr 52 min — each one builds on the last.
  • Video first. Every lesson starts with a short video from Hazel, with subtitles.
  • Practical. Practice tasks, real client scenarios and portfolio projects in the Build Lab.
  • Honest. Every lesson shows when it was last checked against GHL, because GHL changes often.

Your GHL Baddie is independent. It isn't made by, or affiliated with, HighLevel.

How every lesson works

  1. Learn — what it is, through a real client request.
  2. Build — the step-by-step build.
  3. Test — a short knowledge check. Every answer is explained, and you can retry.
  4. Practice — a practice task or client scenario to do on your own.
  5. Share — stuck, or proud of a build? Each lesson links to the GHL Baddie HQ community.

At the bottom of every lesson there's a Next lesson button, so you always know what's next.

What you need

  • For Module 1: nothing. The first lessons are concepts.
  • For hands-on practice (from Lesson 3 onwards): access to a GoHighLevel account. No account yet? Hazel's link gives you a free 30-day GoHighLevel trial with HighLevel's free live training — real access to practice in. (Affiliate link — free for you; Hazel may earn a commission if you later subscribe.)
  • Time: 15–20 minutes a day is enough. Consistency beats marathons.
