Is students on PGWP or Visitor visa still considered students?

[gengen]

After student graduates and is on PGWP are they still considered a student for immigration purposes or are they considered just workers?
Same as if students switches over to visitor is student technically considered a student on a visitor permit?
My question is if student is on PGWP or has switched to visitor visa, wanted to take another course would student need a new study permit?
thx in advance
