John is doing one certification course. Eg: MyCourse
The certification has been divided into 8 sub courses (or Modules) - A,B,C.....
One course can be finished in every 3 months. All sub courses (A,B,C...) should be finished to earn the certification - MyCourse.

John has cleared the first course - A.

Is this correct to write his signature in his correspondence.

John (MyCourse) = This brackets indicate that John is still pursuing the course, but not finished yet.

Or the above usage is weird.

Thanks,
Suresh

Hi,

I'm not sure what you mean about 'writing his signature', but would guess that in this case, his 'signature' is a digital signature similar to a forum profile, rather than his name written in his own hand.

John (MyCourse) - the brackets indicate what course John is following (or had followed if the details remain after the course is complete). (The correct course name would be substituted for 'MyCourse' when it is known.

That depends where you write it!

On a college/university bulletin board or similar, if it is standard practice to write the course in this way, it's fine.

Otherwise, you need to make a clear distinction between saying you are following the qualification and between saying you have it!
