Morning all. I'm an aspiring MSC, with my initial assessment looming ominously on the horizon this week. I can't say I'm not looking forward to it - though I am ever so slightly nervous. I've been looking at this forum on and off for a few weeks while preparing myself for the assessment - I figured - Why don't I just join?
