If you don't plan to go to uni and are aiming to get a job after leaving school, why do A-levels at all? A-levels are designed specifically to prepare students for university level study. If you want to go into work after leaving, especially in the IT sector, you would probably be best off doing a BTEC in some kind of computing or IT based subject. This is what a friend of mine did and then went into work as soon as he finished his course at a web development company local to his area, and as far as I know he still works there several years later.
