I’m Arun Shaju, ex-AME trainee with right to work in UK. How can I restart my Aircraft Technician career at BA?

Arun S. asked a question to Ruby S.

I completed a 3-year Aircraft Maintenance Engineering course in India and 1 year as a Trainee Technician. My career then moved in a different direction, but I am keen to return. I now live in the UK with right to work/study. Could you advise me on the training/steps to resume my AME career with BA?”
