The job requires (a) knowledge of English
Hello,
could you please confirm me if there is an article "a" before the word knowledge (see my sentence in the subject). I know this word is uncountable but in this case I would say that is a specific type of knowledge, so I would put an article.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

I think "a knowledge" is correct in that context. It expresses not so much a specific type of knowledge but rather a complete understanding as a result of study. A bare "knowledge" seems to be saying "some knowledge".

0The article is optional in that sentence. You can include it or omit it as you wish.
