They aren't giving out any information of the course till closer to the date, What do you reckon will be the foundation language they will start off with?

C?
Python?
C++?
Idk, im just asking here because someone may have done a similar course and may know some information, or at least what's the most likely one.

And have i to stop learning myself python and move on to that language so i have an advantage of a year in front?

Hmm :/

Any replies/help would be much appreciated.

That looks suspiciously like .NET or Java, with VERY superficial coverage of each topic mentioned.

Should i just learn python and transfer the skills understood via syntax?

[WingedPanther]

That would probably work well.

Start with any language, practice a lot and have fun! The language you wrote your apps is the less important part of your project, mostly if it is an online course where you will not code specific, platform dependant code, and will not need any specific package.
