Is there no way of explaining to your prospective employer about the training you're doing for the SIA badge? Could you not postpone the interview?
If not, I'd say it isn't worth the risk (although this is a tough call) - especially if the position is only possibly a temporary one. Last summer I worked at festivals in Scotland and England for a security company, and the guys with the SIA badges get a lot of work at these festivals, and also all year round at clubs/casinos etc in Glasgow where I'm from. I'd imagine you could find work a lot easier if you complete the training man. If I was you I'd sack the interview and just go for the SIA badge, especially if you're living in a big city where there would be lots of potential work.
