The Java Certification process has undergone a major over haul since Oracle bought out Sun. Since I started looking into the certification process, I thought I'd summarise the changes in the certification process for Java SE 6 / 7 in the last 3 years.The following table lists some of the major changes to the Oracle Java Programmer certification process.

To summarise, as on June 2013, if you do not hold any prior certification the certification path to becoming a Oracle Certified Java Programmer SE 7 requires, two exams to be taken (IZ0-803 & IZ0-804). If holding a prior certification, then it is just one upgrade exam (IZO-805)
