O-levels were the name of exams people took at the age of 16. They were replaced by GCSEs in about 1990, so if someone took O-levels they are 45 or older now.
After O levels come A levels (at 18). These stand for Ordinary and Advanced.
An O level was the last compulsory year of education. People with a more advanced education would get A levels or eventually a university degree.

The General Certificate of Education (GCE) Ordinary Level, also called the O-level or O level, was a subject-based academic qualification. ... The O-Level and CSE were replaced in the United Kingdom in 1988 by the GCSE and later complementary IGCSE exams.
Generally 16 year old students take anywhere between 5-10 subjects, which, if passed, are generally considered equivalent to a US high school diploma.
I hope this answer your question.
