Can dependent of Tier 4 switch to Skilled Worker visa?

Hi

A friend is a dependent of student in the UK. He intends to switch his visa as a Skilled worker. Does he need to leave the UK or he can be sponsored (and employed) by a company while he is here.

His spouse' student visa is going to end soon and they dont want to go to PSW route.

No need to leave the UK, he can apply in-country once he has a CoS.
