I am away for a 3-days training course

[atiq124]

I want to turn on my emails auto-reply during next 3 days as I'll be away to attend a professional course in the class room of a local academy. I am not sure if it is called away for training, away for course or away for a training course. The course is a part of continuous professional development.

I'd say 'Away on training'.
