On a UK student visa can I take a 3 - day training course to enhance my technical skills as a PhD student

Hello,

On a UK student visa, are we allowed to take short 3-day external courses within UK? I would need to attend this course to learn skills related to my PhD but its not a compulsary part of my course or anything- its just for my PhD training. I can see there is a a section about supplementary study but it says you can only do evening classes/vacation periods? https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/student-sponsor-guidance/sponsorship-duties-accessible#courses

Its not any qualification, literally just a 3 day course to learn a technique which i need to use for my project. Added to this I will have authorised leave from my department. I am not registering at another uni or anything, the event is just hosted on a university campus.
