What do you mean by "A Levels equivalent in the US"? We don't have A Levels here. I know parts of Europe have them, but not the US.

I was told that while no one offers A levels directly in the US, they are accepted as college credit for the General Education requirements, even in B&M schools.

Any schools in particular? I haven't seen this, but am curious if it does happen at specific schools. Every school here has their own policies.

In short, these need to be evaluated by a NACES member, they'll most likely come out as favorable to first year college credit. Think of it as AP, IB, CLEP, or as mentioned, A-Level for those in the UK. Just make sure they give a favorable evaluation to get the transfer credit...

While cant't find anything specific about the other Big 3/UMPI/WGU, but it seems Excelsion will not accept A-Levels:

You can save on tuition and finish your program sooner by transferring more credits from past coursework and college-level exams.

But also

Excelsior accepts credit for many exams administered by military, educational, and certification agencies. If you’ve taken college-level exams not listed here, ask your admissions counselor if they’re eligible to be evaluated for credit transfer.
