I helped found a small tech company in the United States several years ago. When my cofounder and I are looking to hire new programmers, college does not count for much. Interesting, functional projects count for a lot. If we have two potential hires, and one of them has a good website and the other has a good resume, I am honestly more likely to hire the one with the website.
My point is that the ability to complete projects counts for more in the real world than the ability to complete courses. Tech may help you in that regard than you would expect.
If i do go to this tech school i still plan on finishing college and then doing back for web development I dont know if that sounds crazy.
and the Course is called "Business Computer Programming" for some reason the title doesn't sit in will with me, I think it's the Business part.
and these are the main focus in the course Computer Literacy, Microsoft Office, Exposure to a Network Environment, Computer Programming in 9i PL/SQL, Java, Access VBA, Employability Skills and Portfolios

That sounds all kinds of horrible. "Computer Literacy", "Microsoft Office", "Exposure to a Network Environment", "Employability Skills and Portfolios" all sound like joke classes. Java and SQL are nice, I suppose, but overall it sounds like the kind of bullshit program that manager-types who want to get into the tech field, without a real technical background, attend so that they can bullshit their way to a nice salary.
