  • Prerequisites: Splunk Core Certified Power User

That means you need to have current valid Power User certificate.

If you read the track flowchart you'll see that trainings at the Admin level are recommended but not required (but are useful - that's from experience) - it's the highest certification level on which there are no prerequisite trainings. But the Power User certification is a must (you won't be able to register for the exam otherwise anyway).
