After 18 years in Australia are my British certs still viable?

[ChristianDoherty]

Hi people I have lived in Australia for 18 years originally from UK, I was just wondering if my old UK BHS/Uni qualifications are still viable or recognised as am returning to live in the UK next year. I have been working in an animal related industry since I have been here. Any advice would be appreciated cheers. Just looked at my old resume and this is what I have got in the past.

As far as I am aware qualifications don't run out because you are abroad. Many people did qualifications when young and then use them for a CV later in life for a career change. Me being one of them

ETA - as far as I know the D32/33 assessor award became the A1 assessor award, and I think it is something else now, but employers would still know the equivalent. I find if you Google the qualification you have it will give the modern equivalent.

Am lucky to own my own house, but when ur paying 250.00 pounds a week for a 1 bedroom flat just to live here its beyond affordably and its pretty dull n noting to do in Perth to be honest.! Most isolated city in the world.

When i first got here being a qualified BHSAI n stage 4 plus a HND I got a job teaching at a riding school 8 hrs a day hard yakka the stable Mgr was 16 n she told me British people are weird cos take looking after horses n riding so seriously, but they dont care! I was in the horse industry 8 weeks before i left.

Very proud to be trained n represent the BHS when ever I teach horse riding! The most prestigious horse organisation in the world!

I think we have limited requirements for Australian mammalian scientists here
