I would advise you to go for A' levels, <b>IF</b> you positively intend to go for a UK based quaification which draws rather heavily upon analytical skills, which you might need to develop.
A' Levels might take one year minimum if done privately, two years at an institution, but trust me, it will be worth it. Your analytical skills will develop and you will be more 'ready' to take on a demanding qualification. You only need two subject passes (i.e Grade E minimum which is usually around 50%) at A' Levels to enter directly into ACCA Part 1, which can be cleared in one attempt spanning 6 months from registration. Conversely, if you did Intermediate, you will still have to do CAT, which takes a minimum of one year, before you can enter ACCA Part II. So in the end no time is actually lost, but you still end up gaining more in terms of skill. For A' Levels I would recommend that you take up Accounting, Business Studies, and a one choice from either Economics, Law or Mathematics depending on your personal aptitude. It will be worth it. =)
If any of the facts in my above post are wrong, feel free to correct.
