The competency required to become a professional First Aid Trainer/Assessor is clearly defined by the HSE:

Trainers/assessors should have knowledge and competence in first aid, as demonstrated by: Holding a current, valid FAW certificate (or being exempt – namely registered Dr. Nurse or Paramedic), and having knowledge and competence in training and/or assessing, demonstrated by holding a training/assessing qualification. Since October 2015 you have been required to also hold a formal, generic Teaching and Assessing qualification. The most common option to meet this requirement is the Level 3 Award in Education & Teaching (L3 EAT) with the unit “Principles and Practice of Assessment”. Other qualifications are accepted; please see the latest guidance for a matrix of other acceptable qualifications.
