More than an intermediate but less so than an expert

What is a word for a person with more expertise (in certain field) than an intermediate but less so than an expert?


Solution 1:

Depending on the field (and potentially how close to intermediate/expert you want to be), a variety of words are viable:

  • Advanced
  • Seasoned
  • Experienced

Solution 2:

Journeyman

Exactly what qualifies you to be a journeyman varies from profession to profession (if it is even used within a given profession).

It generally means someone who has completed all their training and is considered proficient without having yet proven their mastery.

Solution 3:

Skilled, proficient http://www.synonyms.net/synonym/expert

However I have never seen the need.

novice/beginner, intermediate, expert

are the terms normally used
