Is there a Claude Code certification?

No exam is called a Claude Code certification. The closest in Anthropic's Claude Certification Program is Claude Certified Developer - Foundations (CCDV-F), which is for engineers building applications with Claude. It is open only to organizations in the Claude Partner Network, so you take it through a member firm.

If you want proof you finished a course, Claude Code 101 is free, 1.5 hours, with a badge. That is a course badge, not an exam.
