Entering the Schengen area after being told I can't return to Spain

More than probably, yes. A certificate of completion with a stamped date will for sure be enough information to prove you were there, and you took a course there. They will only have to call, at best, to make sure the certificate is legit.
Request your summer Schengen tourist visa as soon as you can. if you receive it, it means you're clear to enter the country, and any other Schengen country. You might be in the SIS and be questioned on the prior issues if they're registered, but you can't be denied entry with a valid visa.
Learn enough Italian / Spanish to request an English speaking border agent if things get complicated.If both countries operate the same way (I'm from Spain, been to Italy thrice), they'll both be slightly reluctant to do so, but will comply in the end.
IMPORTANT:
Unlike the USA and Russia, whom I know provide no data on it, not even to their own citizens, European countries must adhere to the European General Data Protection Act. It basically means you, as citizen, whether EU or not, have some rights in terms of accessing your information (and correcting it if necessary). Long story short, you can contact a SIS official representative on your country and request him to notify you of your status. It would be very strange that they would refuse to do it.
The only big downside is the possibility of them sending every document they have on you, and that means you could get a 200-page .pdf or printed folder. (If you request your Facebook data under the act, for example, you can get up to 10 A4 paper boxes of printed documents).
What is the procedure for requesting access to personal data in the SIS? If you believe your personal information has been misused, needs to be corrected or deleted, you can request access to and rectification of your data. If you are a third-country national you can address your request to the consulate of any Schengen State. If you are a citizen of a Schengen State you can either address your request directly to the competent national authority responsible for the issuance of the alert or indirectly to the national Data Protection Authority.
Guidelines on the national procedures for access requests have been compiled by the national Data Protection Authorities.
Although it directly refers to any Schengen consulate, if the Spanish or Italian consulates don't answer you, you also have the SIS data protection Third country (non EU; non Candidate) contacts:
