For the non-UK folk you might have to explain A-levels. But your question it’s valid.
> How far from this is the A level in Computer Science[1]? Or the EdX MicroMaster’s in Data Structures and Algorithms[2]?
Pretty far from being standardized and the key point of the previous comment you replied to is re-licensing.
> If any one of the FAANG companies said “Get this qualification and we guarantee you an interview” that would already be massive, never mind skipping one or two steps of the interview process.
Is it? Network engineers are required to keep up certifications for jobs in the US (CCNP or rarely CCDE). So do Security Engineers/Professionals, Auditors, Cloud engineers/architects/consultants. Government employees or contractors require them for assurance. It’s not that massive of a shift imo.
