FWIW, when I moved overseas, none of my certs carried. I was able to "fast track" through the basic and intermediate courses so it was no big deal. Retaking those classes was really useful. You will know 90% of them cold, but re-learning and reviewing everything is a great way to think about the basics again. Additionally, you will want to learn the local SOPs.

I actually enjoyed reviewing the fundamental stuff I hadn't really thought about for over 15 years, and I like to think I'm a better firey for it.
