Hi Tristan,
That is great news that you will be joining TAS!
My advice would be to start looking at the business basics. For example, you could watch tutorials on drafting business emails to clients, how to mail-merge on Microsoft Word and learning Excel basics. Keep an eye on the TAS twitter account, so you can get involved in as many conversations as possible once you start! Don't feel like you need to know everything, we will teach that to you once you join!
If you have any more questions, please do let me know and I will be happy to answer.
