Why doesn't he ask?
You should look for a course in your mother tongue. One in english might prove challenging.
Wherever is closer to home is probably the best place to study it. You should look for references on the school from graduates.

I gave up my PMP as being almost worthless. My previous company wanted us to get it so they brought in a teacher for the two day training. The test was taken by each of us when we could schedule it. The test is about 75% vocabulary, 10% formula, and 15% random stuff from the PIMBOK.

Then after getting the PMP, the maitenance is more intensive than my PE.
