There are several schools and institutions that provide cisco training.

The least expensive will be San Antonio College and Northwest Vista
College.  Both have labs with cisco routers and switches.

Your neighbor may want to contract it out and have a trained professional
recommend and setup the network for them.  In fact that would be a great
project for networking students at SAC and NW Vista!  They could do it
under the supervision of their instructors.
