Tips for Fund / Portfolio Administration Role

New member to the WSO community and been looking to find the most suitable trainings for me to take. 

I am interviewing for a Finance Associate role in the Fund / Portfolio Administration Group at a private equity firm and was wondering what applicable trainings would be useful for me as I embark on this career? 

Some background is that I am well-versed in Excel and PowerPoint already but not in modelling.

Any and all tips welcomed!
