If you accept this interview opportunity and are fortunate to receive an offer you should probably take the class.
They aren't likely hiring in big numbers and for much duration. If you pass your package will either be trashed our placed at the bottom of a pool where you may never surface again.
At this point in time UPS most likely has a large pool of highly qualified applicants and they will select people that are eager to join their company.
From my limited view, it looks like we have classes through May. After that, it looks like a giant question mark with waiting to see what the economy is doing. I wouldn’t assume there will alway be a class every month as a back up option.
As far as HRs ability to defer a class date, I assume you could if there is a class available. But I wouldn’t risk wait if at all possible.
