Can anyone help?

Do you have your CFI? If so, you should get current in instructing again and do some instructing for 6 months or so. If not, definitely find a way to get some recent hours under your belt after getting current again. Survey flying? Angel Flight?
You don't want to go into the training program without recent IFR currency- the program isn't designed to brush you up on that stuff, just build on top of it.
