I have a degree in MSc Medical Laboratory Sciences, Microbiology. Unfortunately my certificates are from abroad the uk. I can not get them attested as there is a war in the country of issuance. Can I get a related job or a paid apprenticeship in the UK?

I’m open to career change into non-clinical lab roles like quality assurance food/pharma.
