If a company is putting on a training course for 2 days, Sunday and Monday, which is on the continent, so requires a flight on a Saturday afternoon - I'm fairly sure it's ok to decline.

However, is there anything in HR regulations that mean you can request the same training during a more suitable time frame (ie during the working week)?

It would be surprising to see this level of detail in a company policy. From your post it would seen that you're suggesting you're not happy about having to go in your own time, despite it being a development opportunity, in a new place and paid for? Why not talk to your boss and see what he says. Good luck!

Will this training mean that your earnings potential increases in the future?

Depends a lot on what else is going on in your job?

Are you in a career that will take off after the training? Are you happy / paid well / loyal to the company?

If so, take it on the chin and get on with it.

Hate your job, about to leave, not paid well. Kick up a fuss and see ow far you get with it. But when the time comes, your boss / HR will remember if you were awkward about it.
