Most of them seem to grade the piece at Intermediate level, which approximates to ABRSM grade 4-6. To, me this indicates a level of skill you can expect to have reached if you've played regularly and made steady progress for two or three years. You wouldn't need to be a virtuoso player, but it would need a level of skill beyond beginner.
