Education and Training Requirements
High School
You will need a high school diploma to get a job with the United States Postal Service. Federal Express service agents must be at least 18 years old and possess a high school diploma (or GED); UPS account executives usually have at least some college education.
Postsecondary Training
Although not required, some college course work may help postal clerks advance to positions of greater responsibility in the post office. Classes in customer service, business management, marketing, English, math, and computer science can be beneficial.
