FAQs

​

What types of online courses can I create with Kajabi?

Kajabi supports two course formats: Evergreen Courses (self-paced, available to students as soon as they purchase) and Cohort Courses (scheduled groups that progress through material together, with live video sessions). Each Course can include video, audio, written lessons, quizzes, and downloadable files organized into modules and submodules.

​

Can students access my course on their phone?

Yes. Students can access your course on your Kajabi website, the Kajabi mobile app, or your own branded mobile app — all from their phone or tablet.

​

Can I drip course content over time instead of releasing everything at once?

Yes. Kajabi lets you schedule or drip modules and lessons so content becomes available on a specific date or a set number of days after purchase — ideal for structured programs or challenges.

​

Can I issue completion certificates to students?

Yes. Kajabi can automatically send a certificate to students when they complete a course. You can configure certificate settings from the course editor.

​

Is there a limit to how many videos or lessons I can add?

There is no cap on the number of lessons. Individual video file uploads have a maximum size limit, and Kajabi stores media on its servers. You can upload as much course content as your business needs.

​

Can I offer a free preview of my course before students buy?

Yes. Kajabi’s Paywall feature lets you give prospective students a sneak peek at course content while keeping the full course behind a purchase — a great way to convert interested leads.

​

Does Kajabi use AI to help me build my course?

Yes. When creating a Course, you can enable AI to automatically generate a course outline with modules and lessons based on your topic. Kajabi’s Cofounder assistant can also help you build course content, landing pages, and marketing emails as you go.

​

Can I add quizzes or assessments to my course?

Yes. Kajabi supports course quizzes that you can place at any point in your curriculum to test student understanding and reinforce learning.

​

Is Kajabi SCORM compliant?

No. Kajabi Courses are not SCORM compliant at this time. If SCORM or xAPI compliance is a requirement for your use case, Kajabi may not be the right fit for that specific need.

​

Can I prevent students from downloading my course videos and files?

Yes. Kajabi’s course content is protected by default. Videos hosted on Kajabi are view-only inside the platform and cannot be downloaded by students unless you explicitly enable that option. Attached files in lessons are downloadable by design, so if you prefer to keep files locked, deliver that content as video or written text instead.
