“Direct Apply is an amazing tool, and it’s great that you have individual advisors walking students through the process. It just gives the students and us confidence in the product. Direct Apply makes things so efficient in terms of completing the application — student details are pre-populated from the information they’ve filled in on Cialfo.”
Melissa Almodal-Abraham
Counselor, Reedley International School, The Philippines
"Because of Cialfo, I can see that it will be so much easier for me to monitor my students' pre-application tasks. My usual laborious tasks of university planning, recommending universities and keeping application records seem to have become so easy. I can now devote more time talking to more students."

"My favorite part about Cialfo is customer support. In my opinion, they get top marks. In one word, I'll describe Cialfo as dynamic. They are growing. They are meeting people's needs. They're listening to the customers. And they're changing and morphing to become better and better."
Jeff Neill

"My favourite feature in Cialfo by far is the task list. The ability to give students a list of things to do based on where they're applying, what their particular major is, or indecision, allowing them to have a customized experience."
