Could be difficult, as you point out below, what one person will do and
find acceptable, could be completely different to what another person
entertains, even though both might be experienced in their field(mine's
a nice square one, green grass, over-looking the sea). 
Best he can do is go for a beginners course, and if he actually has an
interest in the area browse and read up/research the topic on websites.
There are FAS courses available, he might want to try there.
