do associate degree count as certifications for It/computer based jobs in japan

I was gonna get my bachelors online and was wondering if prior to that if my associates from the community college would count as any kind of certificate. mostly in relation to this https://japanprcalculator.com/

for points for permanent residency. where it talks about holding a foreign qualification related to the job.

im interested in studying tech to work in japan, will prob have a idea by the end of the month or so on what i want my bachelors to be on for the online program i found. but i do have some credits at the cc and wondering if getting the associates be worth it least for the foreign qualification part. or is this possibly referring to things like google certs or something?
