You are in Business man! Jump in with both feet. In this situation remind yourself what Sir Alan Sugar or Sir Richard Branson would do.

Put yourself in the consultancy's shoes. They have to deliver - why take the chance with someone who thinks that they might not be able to do the work?

Working through recruitment consultant X for consultancy Y which in the end will be delivering for Client Z.
So if you havent done this type of work for 18months or so and feeling a bit rusty on that application. Naturally consultancy Y wants to deliver to the client but you feel you may not be upto scratch at the moment.
Do you not go for the role? Or can you negotiate with consultancy Y.

You can either do it or you can't.
You think you can (albiet a bit rusty) so go for it guns blazing. After two weeks doing the actual task you'll look back and wonder why in gods name you even thought of giving them a get out.

Yes, go for the role. The skill will come back as soon as you start using it.
