No, you're not allowed to use the stident working provision to fund your studies, this is in the immigration rules and the IDI's the UKBA use for guidance.

Whether they find out or not is a different issue but they are pretty tenacious these days and if your friend is hoping to gain ILR via the student/10 year route squeaky clean is in order.
