This is something that I've been kinda doing for my campaign.
I take each day and divide it up into four quarters: morning (6 - noon), afternoon (noon - 6), evening (6 - midnight), and night (midnight - 6).
What I do is that if a player wants to train their character, they can take a quarter (or three)* and train.
Easy skills require a person train for three quarters (doesn't have to be consecutive) to gain a skill point.
Hard skills require a person to train for five quarters to gain a skill point.
Bear in mind that this time represents *intense* training. While meals and bathroom breaks are assumed, literally every last moment of time aside from those during each quarter must be spent focused on the task or training at hand. In effect, this is an intense form of cramming.
Thoughts?
*I've thus far had no one go for a full day straight.

Training???
That's the first thing that's cut from the budget.

| Training time is useful if your group gets stuck on a backwoods planet.

Isn't it supposed to be a game.
I really don't care about the accounting of it all. I just give out enough experience to maintain a gradual progression in skill.
Of course, it also helps to keep the casualty count healthy. It keeps elite pilots to a minimum.
