More than an intermediate but less so than an expert

Question

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

Answer 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

Answer 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.

Answer 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

Answer 4

In many companies, the HR dept. have a rating scale along the line of the following:

Novice => Intermediate => Senior => Expert

Answer 5

In Belgium you often see medior, which is between junior and senior.
It's redundant; if you're neither a junior X nor a senior X, then you're just an X.
