Modeling Prep?

Incoming SA at a strong BB Coverage group. How much modeling should I need to know before I start? Have access to a modeling course but definitely a little harder than I expected to pick everything up and build full models from scratch. Are a lot of the technical skills learned on the job (not necessarily during the summer but your first year?) How hard is the modeling you actually do on a daily basis?
