If you look on the first few posts of this thread, you will see lots of information that should help you. Try signing up for a couple of companies to start off with and see how you get on. Good luck.

They are on the first few pages of this thread. Some are better than others. Good luck - I have been MS for over 18 months and really enjoy the work.
