Late addition to the thread (looking as need to get CSCS card too).
I've also been looking at museum jobs and was interested to see that, for applications for the post of visitor services assistant at The Imperial War museum it is desirable you have a SIA card - it's a 'Security Industry Authority' card. Here's the website, complete with Robson Greene lookalike - http://www.sia.homeoffice.gov.uk/Pages/home.aspx
Just thinking it's interesting the growth of qualifications/cards for jobs these days. Is it a good thing (increased professionalism?) or 'ID cards by the back door'? Or more ways to make money off people/create card issuing jobs for people.....
