I know that in the U.S., you don't need a pilots license to be an ultralight pilot but is strongly recommended that one takes training before flying a Part 103 ultralight.
If a person undergoes ultralight training, and passes all the tests, will that person be given an ultralight pilot certificate?
Is there such a thing as an ultralight pilot certificate?

Like you said. you don't need a license to fly a Part 103 ultralight. To get training in a similar airplane has become virtually impossible since there are almost no two-seat ultralight-like airplanes to train with since the FAA decided to longer allow training in E-LSAs. If you go to a Sport Pilot school, all you will likely find is modern Remos-type of airplanes which will teach you very little about flying an ultralight. The very thing that the FAA set out to fix - two seat ultalight trainers - they have pretty much eliminated.
The best you could do is get some hours of regular flight training, and then some dual in a friend's two-seat experimental ultralight-like airplane such as a CGS Hawk.
