I completed a nail course a few years ago and have been practising on family and friends, I am wanting to go out and work on the public and make some extra money but when ive looked at my certificate there is nothing on it apart from saying I have completed a course, it isn't certified by anyone or anything, would this be ok to work on the public or not? I am considering going doing a proper course at college which is 1 year long, the previous course i did was a 3 day course, need help please!

You need to approach some insurance companies to see if they will insure you, we can't know for sure. Some 1/2/3 day courses produce certificates of 'attendance' not learning, some are proper accredited courses. If they course says it's a total nail technician course in 3 days I suspect it's not going to be sufficient for insurance purposes, it's not really possible to learn all the techniques in 3 days.
There are independent courses that run over shorter periods that are accredited, a year long college course is not the only option.
I don' know why it' posted so much lol but this is the certificate and the place I did the course and it does say ABT at the bottom so im really unsure if this is legit or whether I should just pay again to do another more professional course somewhere else?
No-one here is going to be able to tell you, only an insurance company. It may have been accepted in 2009 but not now, things change all the time. If you have the time and money I would suggest a refresher course anyway, things have moved and changed a lot in 9 years, lots of new techniques, treatments and methods.
