Certain uncountable nouns — especially those referring to human emotions and mental activity — can take the indefinite article a/an when their meaning is limited in some way.
Examples:
We need an administrative assistant with a first-class knowledge of Spanish. (not with first class knowledge…)
Dickens showed a keen understanding of behaviour.
My parents insisted that I get a good education. (not get good education)
Note that most uncountable nouns cannot be used with a/an at all.
