I got my RHCE back in 2009 (for RHEL5, also in Kirkland) and was able to take the exam without taking the course, but it was a very strange circumstance. Apparently, 6 people from one company had signed up for the course WITHOUT the exam, and so they were able to sell those 6 exam slots a la carte. The exam officiator told us it was a pretty unique scenario.
Anyway, I totally recommend the RHCE, but I wanted to give a word of warning! If you decide to (or find a way to) take both the RHCSA (they called this the RHCT "back when I was a kid" ;) ) and RCHE at the same time, don't give too little attention to the RHCSA! I flew through the "easier" questions in the RHCT and nearly failed the whole thing due to misreading what was asked for or not double-checking my work. Simple, simple stuff like setting facl's and ensuring services start at boot. Good luck finding the exam you're looking for.
