the current NOC 2016 skill type and skill level structure (NOC 0, A, B, C and D) will be replaced with a 6-category system representing the training, education, experience, and responsibilities (TEER) needed to work in an occupation. the 4-digit NOC codes will become 5-digit NOC codes.

If you aren’t sure of the TEER level for this job, you can find your TEER here https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/find-national-occupation-code.html.
