I’d be tempted to ask the UKCAA mailto:
[email protected] (from their web site).
I’d think the course if done at the OEM facility (or by their instructors) is likely to be OK – but if it was an “in house” one done by one of the licensed guys who “happened to know a lot” or had done the OEM course they may be dubious.
On a personal note having done the reverse (UK to SA) good luck with move – and remember compared with the UK SA has NEVER been cold – Dress Warm & double it
