I am answering from the U.S.A., so I do not have personal experience with this. However, I looked on the U.K. Directgov web pages and found reference to loans (Budgeting Loans) for people on Jobseekers to help pay for “things to help you look for or start work.” Perhaps one of those “things” would be considered the cost to obtain a Security Industry Authority (SIA) license.This is the link to the Directgov web page with information on Budgeting Loans:* http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/MoneyTaxAndBenefits/Be…For more information about such a Budgeting Loan, it looks like to need to contact (I suggest talking with a real person – by telephone or in-person) Jobcentre Plus. You can find the phone number for your local office here:* http://los.direct.gov.uk/default.aspx?type=1&lang=…Librarians–Ask Us, We Answer!

Try the security companies, ring round them, the jobcentre will let you use their telephone, you can see if they will pay for your badge, and deduct the cost monthly from your salary,I know, its crazy giving you all that training, and not the licence, good luck hope you find something soon....
