Today, after finishing a two-day course for work, I was informed that the days used will either be unpaid or used up as holidays, as it was for improvement of myself and not the company. They put me on the course without my knowledge until the weekend before. FML

I don't know about the UK, but that's not legal in a lot of countries. Maybe try talking to HR or someone outside of the company.

In the US it would be a violation of the Fair Labor Practices Act. Any required training I make employees do must be paid. This would include professional development.
