Since the new change here in the uk from a "red yellow blue" to a "brown black grey" three phase system about 2 years ago to bring us in line with the rest of europe it seems there is virtually no difference other than the uk are a little stricter on the installation side of things.

I still cant get anything concrete as to if i would need to have my qualifications verified as yet but i have a couple of years yet to find out the answers and will post here what i find out
You need special certification here in Spain to be a fullt fledged electrician. Basically you may be able to do the work here without these qualifications, but it will need to be written off by a certificated electrician for which you will have to pay
