I've just moved from London, good to see others in the same boat. I've not started the process, but have done some planning. As others have said, it looks like you need to start nearly from scratch. The only difference will be that you don't need to hold the learner's permit for 90 days, but you still need to do the theory test, the safe driving course, and the practical test. I did a bit of research on the safe driving course and was probably going to sign up for this one.

I learned to drive in the US and moved to the UK as an adult, where I had to start from scratch for the British license. I'm not sure about CT, specifically, but the tests I've had in America were far easier than in the UK. For what it's worth, as well, driving on the opposite side of the road isn't nearly as hard or scary many people think. Your brain recalibrates very fast.

This is exactly what I had to do just over a year ago, even down to using the same company for the 8 hour course. I know you mentioned that you had done tests in the US, but for OP’s information, ‘The Next Street’ have some great short videos on YouTube, covering how to correctly do any maneuvers you might be asked to do. Very handy to have a look if you don’t plan on taking any lessons.
