Job Description requires less education than NOC description

I am applying for and likely to get a job as an Administrative Assistant (NOC code 13110, TEER 3). Per the NOC description it requires:

"-Completion of secondary school is usually required.
-Completion of a one- or two-year college or other program for administrative assistants or secretaries or previous clerical experience is required."

I have completed these education levels and above this, however the job description only lists secondary school as preferred and no requirements for college. The rest of the job description matches the NOC description very well.

Will the education requirements of the job description make it ineligible to fit this NOC? Or will it still be considered this NOC code due to the job description matching regardless of requirements for education for this particular job? I would not take the job if it did not satisfy sufficient NOC/TEER levels for the CEC.

Any help or advice is appreciated.

For Express Entry, your education doesn’t need to match the NOC. Will EE change in the future…who knows.
