level three

Stage after second

Level three designates the third tier in a ranked system, implying intermediate status—beyond basic but not yet advanced.

Video games popularized the term for stages of increasing difficulty or progression: I can't get past level three.

In other contexts, it may indicate severity, clearance, or qualification: level three biohazard, level three certification.
