So if you're already teaching, you're half way there.
So, why do you need this qualification? You don't. Anyone can put a brass plate on their door and call themselves a singing teacher. As a result though, it is very difficult for singers to be sure that the singing teacher with whom they have signed up, is the "real deal." We have a duty to the integrity of our profession, to put bona fide letters after our name to sharpen the difference between those who are clearly not qualified and those who are.
