For instance:

It requires a _____ level of understanding to work on X,Y and Z.

I'm looking for a word that is slightly less than in-depth but more than normal. It is to be used in a work/business setting.

A certain level seems ambiguous.

A substantial level sounds odd.

A moderate level appears average.

Any other suitable words other than basic, intermediate and advanced level?


Is level of limiting the choice of word?

You've got a really wide range of adjectives to work with there, depending on whether you're willing to paraphrase a little.

Since we're talking about comprehension of a subject you could say:

A highly familiar level of understanding...

An adept level of understanding to work on...

A strong grasp of the concept of...

This work requires an existing level of insight...

It will require a fair degree of expertise to work on.... (where expertise can be modified with 'a high amount', 'a moderate amount', etc.)
