• TEER NOC CODE: 42202 – Early childhood educators and assistants

The National Occupational Classification (NOC) is a system developed by the Government of Canada to classify jobs (occupations). Jobs are grouped according to the work a person does and the job duties. The BC PNP uses the 2021 version of the NOC for applications submitted on or after November 16, 2022.

The NOC 2021 version uses TEER categories (Training, Experience, Education and Responsibilities) to classify each job based on the level of training, formal education and experience that is needed for each job, as well as the responsibilities associated with each job. There are six TEER categories:

• TEER 0 – Management jobs
• TEER 1 – Jobs that usually require university education
• TEER 2 – Jobs that usually require college education OR≥ 2 year apprenticeships OR supervisory positions
• TEER 3 – Jobs that usually require college education OR < 2 year apprenticeships OR > 6 months on-the-job training
• TEER 4 – Jobs that usually require high school education OR several weeks on-the-job training
• TEER 5 – Jobs with no education requirement, short on-the-job demonstration training
