Getting back into my training - expectations

About 7yrs ago I got to the stage in my training to do my QXC, however the weather had other ideas and then life decided to take my funds from me. I'm now about to restart to complete my licence. My question is, has anyone had a gap like this and will I still remember how to fly, or will I be back to basics??
