Can I Raise An NVQ Up a Level?

Many job posts I'm after no longer accept my NVQ 2 and ask for Level-3 instead!
Can i somehow upgrade this and what would i need to do, my current job could be coming to an end as we go into recession so i need to be proactive.

Some places offer short track courses to do it in weeks (would be a full time commitment I would have thought) or over a year or more.
Also do the jobs have nvq level 3 or equivalent experience. You could maybe argue you have experience equivalent to it if you do.

Depending on how long ago you did your NVQ, cross-referecing may not be possible now.
Many NVQs changed to Diplomas so a different version of the qualification.
The last I heard, these Diplomas are better as instead of just being able to cross reference an NVQ with another in the same industry, you can now use units from one industry into another to shorten the qualification in your new sector.
In my field (Social Care) I was an NVQ assessor alongside my role as managing a social care facility. I haven't continued with this since our relevant NVQs went the diploma route so don't know all the ins and outs.
