Raytac’s MDBT50Q is a BT 5.4 stack (Bluetooth® low energy or BLE) module designed based on Nordic nRF52840 SoC solution, which incorporates: GPIO, SPI, UART, I2C, I2S, PMD, PWM, ADC, NFC and USB interfaces for connecting peripherals and sensors.
It features an embedded 2.4GHz transceiver supports Bluetooth 5.4, IEEE 802.15.4 (Thread & Zigbee) & 2.4Ghz RF & ANT+ upon customer’s preference. Compact size with (L) 15.5 x (W) 10.5 x (H) 2.05 or 2 mm. Low power requirements, ultra-low peak, average and idle mode power consumption. Fully coverage of BLE software stack. BLE & RF transmission switching helps products fit all operation system and most hardware
This skill defines how difficult the soldering is on a particular product. It might be a couple simple solder joints, or require special reflow tools.
Skill Level: Experienced - You might be required to do some reflow or basic rework with SMD components. A heat gun, Heaterizer or other tools might be required, and a good understanding of SMD soldering as well as PTH soldering are required.

If a board needs code or communicates somehow, you're going to need to know how to program or interface with it. The programming skill is all about communication and code.
Skill Level: Competent - The toolchain for programming is a bit more complex and will examples may not be explicitly provided for you. You will be required to have a fundamental knowledge of programming and be required to provide your own code. You may need to modify existing libraries or code to work with your specific hardware. Sensor and hardware interfaces will be SPI or I2C.

If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Competent - You will be required to reference a datasheet or schematic to know how to use a component. Your knowledge of a datasheet will only require basic features like power requirements, pinouts, or communications type. Also, you may need a power supply that?s greater than 12V or more than 1A worth of current.

Does this module come programmed with a bootloader or will I need a special programmer?
You'll need a programmer. Check out this article here covering it: https://www.raytac.com/news/ins.php?index_id=115
