Between "Expert knowledge" and "Working knowledge"

Question

I wonder how best to describe a position between "Expert knowledge" and "Working knowledge" (as in "Expert knowledge in HTML/CSS", "Working knowledge in JavaScript"). Is there any term that suits somewhere not so expert but higher than working knowledge? "Decent knowledge" sounds fine?
Thank you in advance for your advice.

Anton · Answer

There are various possibilities: skilled, talented, proficient all seem to be less authoritative than expert but more competent than merely working.
I do not repeat easily found definitions of the words, whose meanings are somewhat intermingled in dictionary entries. talented has a greater connotation of creativity and natural ability than skilled or proficient so may be closer to expert than they are.
