Working Knowledge

You know how to use it. You have experience using it, as opposed to having only book knowledge of something.
Also can mean that you know how to use something, but do not have knowledge or understanding of the principles behind it.
I have a working knowledge of light switches. I can turn a light on and off with one, but I cannot rewire one and I don't really know how electricity works.
I have a working knowledge of cars. I can drive one. And if it breaks I know how to call the repair shop. I don't have a working knowledge of auto repair!

It means you actually know how to do something, as opposed to just knowing about it. Kind of like "I know John" vs "I know OF John."

You have experience dealing with the subject matter.
That is, you have more than theoretical knowledge, but you aren't an expert.
The implication is that you have gotten up close and personal with whatever it is ... that it is more than academic.
