Hi Chap, one way to go would be to approach the City & Guilds people.

 They will look at your qualification(s) and for a fee they can issue a Certificate of Equivalence.

That gives everyone more of a clue as to how well qualified you are and your suitability for employment.

Good luck and l hope you get sorted soon.
