A good starting point would be to read the Sybex CCNA Certification book by Todd Lammle. In my opinion, the Sybex books are good for beginners because they explain things in an easy to understand manner. The Cisco Press books are more detailed. Also, it's essential to get some hands-on experience with actual routers and switches. If these aren't available or aren't within his budget, pick up an inexpensive router and switch simulation program. Not as good as the actual equipment, but better than nothing at all.
