applying for a post graduate from visitor visa

[strawbar]

Hi Guys. I have a friend who asks this question to me and it got me confusing too.
He had a student visa till at the end of November, but because all the courses are done in a month, school adviser told to extend it as a visitor since it is only a month left. Now he needs to change from visitor to a post graduate visa. Do you think it would be a problem for him to be a visitor status for a month while he was at the school? and would it be possible to change it to a post graduate visa?

Thank you in advance...
