adjectivesnounsphrase-meaningphrase-request

As I checked the google, expertise is a noun and means "expert skill or knowledge in a particular field".

I made the following sentence:

.. doesn’t require expertise knowledge of HTML.

As I checked google for the phrase "require expertise knowledge", it found 99,100 cases; However in some of them knowledge came after a comma after expertise like:

Knowledge worker's are employees who require expertise, knowledge, or information from others to perform their jobs effectively

Can I rely on these results and employ this phrase?

Can the noun "expertise" which is a synonym of "knowledge" come before it to make a phrase?
