Ian, Although late to this thread I am not sure if someone mentioned this but if you have a spare machine around he can "play" with that. I am not sure what distro you guys are using but Fedora would get him started with Red Hat. But if he builds a server by himself and then you find training he can play to his hearts content without messing up your stuff. About the only thing that may be a hassle would be email since that would involve some dns settings. But if he had a machine he could load on Ubuntu and then Oracle's virtual Box and then start his own little set of servers on that machine. As he learns something new he could just spawn off another VM if needed.
I saw someone mentioned Cascadia which would be great for him. Since you are in the Seattle Area Washington University is there, maybe checkout their Computer department and see what they have.

"Local" here means the Seattle area: "We're looking for a hands-on training course for someone who is new to linux sysadmin work and I'm hoping you'll have suggestions. We do have other SAs on staff, but need to get this person up to speed on some of the basics pretty quickly. If you have experience with or knowledge of good, preferably local, Linux training for sysadmins, I'd love to hear about them."
