he probably won't have as much trouble as he thinks, but if he does, apple stores offer complimentary help as well as classes on what can be done with it (email & browsing, make movies, music, etc.).

but to answer your question, there's no remote access unless you jailbreak it, which i do not suggest for this situation.
