If you request to attend a Training Day and they say that time away from the office is the main issue, then you need to make the conference seem as undisruptive as possible. You need to reinforce that your work is under control and manage expectations. The best way for me to do this was to do an internal time management course.

I went to a restaurant, and a friendly server named "Matt" came to take our order. I don't want to trash-talk restaurant servers. But this problem of employees relying on their memory to remember every detail -- instead of writing it down -- is something I hear bosses complain about quite a bit when it comes to their teams.
