if you are good enough, taking the RH300 will ensure your pass. If you do not take the RH300, you will likely get the RHCT if you do not pass and you will get the RHCE the second time round...
This is something I wasn't aware of. Are you saying that if I take the RH300 fast track course and do OK, at the very least I'll end up a RHCT?
That's a nice idea.

Nope. Taking the RHCE exam (RH302) doesn't necessary mean that you will end up with RHCT - you still must be able to complete all the required RHCT competencies in order to earn the RHCT certification.
Here's the typical route for an "experienced" or "good enuff" :: Attend the Rapid Track (RH300) and then take the RHCE Exam (RH302) where the requirements of the exams are as follows:
#### https://www.redhat.com/training/rhce/courses/rhexam.html
The two parts of the RHCE Exam consist of: Section I: Troubleshooting and System Maintenance (2.5 hours) Section II: Installation and Configuration (3 hours)
In order to pass the Red Hat Certified Engineer exam under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, you must meet all of the following requirements: a score of 80 or higher on Section I, consisting of five compulsory and five optionals problems; successful completion of the five Section I compulsory troubleshooting problems within one hour of that section's start time; 70 percent or more on the RHCT-level skills in Section II; 70 percent or more on the RHCE-level skills in Section II.
These last two requirements enable RHCEs to demonstrate that they possess both RHCT-level and RHCE-level skills, as well as enabling a person who only has RHCT level skills to earn RHCT if they pass the required competencies.
Candidates will be emailed exam results within three business days following the exam.
