You cannot switch from Vistior visa to tier 2. You;d need to go back to your home country and apply from there.

It’s for someone else, I had my passport 2 years ago and have always found this forum very useful.
I was aware that it’s not possible to switch from visit to tier2 from within Uk but just wanted to double check. Thanks

Kindly state in future if you are asking on behalf of a 'friend' or 'someone else' or get them to register on the forum.

We do check previous posting history to make sure there are not duplicate topics being posted, hence seeing that the question is not relevant to your circumstances.
