Create a Cohort Course

Move learners through a course together as a group to foster collaboration and a sense of community while following a predetermined schedule.

A Cohort Course is a powerful Course structure that enables students to progress through material together in cohort groups, following a predetermined schedule.

Schedule live video sessions so cohort members can connect in real time as they move through the Course together — building collaboration and community along the way.

When you create a Cohort Course, you can either create it from scratch or import the material from an existing Evergreen Course.

Note: Cohort Courses are only available with Growth and Pro Plans and are not available on legacy plans. Check out kajabi.com/pricing for more details.

Create a Cohort Course from scratch

  • From your Dashboard, select Products.

  • Click Courses, then +New course.

  • Select Cohorts as the Course type and click Next.

  • Choose Start from scratch.

  • Add a Title and a Brief Description for your Course.

  • Optionally, toggle on Use this info to generate content and additional resources if desired. Selecting this option will create an AI-generated course outline and lesson material, an opt-in landing page with a form that automatically tags contacts on submission, and a Course announcement email broadcast to send when ready.

  • Choose a Start date for the first cohort group and Course module and click Next.

  • Select the Primary Color (header), Secondary Color (sidebar), and Accent Color (buttons/links). Optionally, upload a Thumbnail image (recommended dimensions: 1280 x 720 px).
