I would have thought that the busy day for mua would be a Saturday, so that would work ok with your job. I have no idea about courses, but I think 2 days is unrealistic. It depends at what level you want to work at. Even to sell cosmetics in a department store takes more than 2 days training.
As far as kit goes, it depends on what you want to spend.

i did my beauty at liverpool academy and it was one day BUT you have to do a portfolio for 6 weeks and do alsorts!! day/evening/special occasion/wedding, also false lashes,
then the exam...
it just isn't something that you can do in a day or two in my opinion,
make up kit is not cheap, you need a HUGE range of things,
colours/textures... so on
plus sponges/brushes cotton pads, tissues, throw away mascara brushes
the list goes on ,

alot to think about
good luck xx

have a look at www.makeupadviceforum.co.uk there loads of mua on there who will be able to point you in the right direction regarding training etc
i work part time doing bridal and occasion makeup, i also do the odd party and makeup lesson, but its been a long hard slog and im still building up my kit and portfolio and trying to get my name out there
i love it, but its harder than i thought it would be .. ive spent a small fortune on my kit and training (approx 5k so far) im a way off breaking even, so you have to be pretty dedicated and prepared to pay out quite a lot to start up, but if its what you want to do then id say go for it
