Entry requirements for a level 3 are level 2 or equivalent (GCSE 6 and above) though even if you haven’t got the GCSEs, the employer would put you through a key skills course during your studies.
You don’t need A levels.

You could then do a degree apprenticeship after without doing A levels. That’s what I did.

will my Level 3 btec Extended certificate in It help me get a Level 3 apprenticeship in IT or will employers ignore that and only look at gcses?

It depends on the employer.
But it’s not your job to reject applications. Apply for whatever interests you and see what comes back.
