Should I apply to internships with parts of my resume not finalized?

I'm currently taking the Financial Edge IB Micro-Degree course and I'm about a 1/4 of the way through with it. A lot of positions for next summer have deadlines that are approaching soon and I'm not entirely sure what to do. Currently, I have the certificate on my resume as in progress, with a date of when I expect to finish it. Is this good enough or should I wait until I have completed the certificate to apply?
