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?

Voluptatem in aut error quidem. Facilis consectetur neque quam dolorem quidem hic.

Nulla reprehenderit in enim consequatur quasi id. Et nesciunt officiis incidunt nostrum soluta quae pariatur. Dolor sequi numquam at est omnis. Error tenetur impedit aliquid minus tenetur odio. Ratione expedita et culpa.

Vero eligendi consequatur possimus. Quam sunt doloremque ex perspiciatis. Quae maiores ducimus fuga vel iste. Sunt molestias non ut et error. Qui labore eos velit velit. Et iure repellendus reiciendis et in temporibus.
