Am I to understand that applicants are REQUIRED to have one of these certifications to take the CHL Instructor's class?

You are required to have one of those certs to qualify for the short class. If you do not have previous certs, you have to take the long class.
Correct. What crossfire said. I have had several questions on this subject.
