Alevels or ACCA?

Really confused as to what I shld do after gcse. I'm class of '26 and I've got an opportunity to either do Foundation and then ACCA or alevels and then go to acca. The former will mean I'll be done w ACCA (hopefully) by 2029 and the latter will mean 2030 or 2031. After both these ill go for bsc from uni of London and then probably go for graduate in fintech

I've been super confused for like half an year now (I was planning on early graduation from gcse by appearing privately but my accounting teacher put a stop to that💔)

My business teacher thinks I shld go straight for Foundation whilst my accounting teacher thinks I shld keep my options open and go for alevels first

I'd REALLY love some insight into this pls and ty

Which country are you from and in which country/ ies might you look to work in?

That can make a huge difference.

Hi . What did you end up chosing? I am thinking of doing Foundation ( it gives you exemption so you dont have to do Applied knowledge and jump straight to Applied skills)

Decided to go for A Levels just to keep my options open
Later ended up dropping accounting entirely cus I realised it wasn't for me
